      abstract = {A diverse collection of essays, which reflect the breadth  of Judith Jarvis Thomson's philosophical work.The diversity  of topics discussed in this book reflects the breadth of  Judith Jarvis Thomson's philosophical work. Throughout her  long career at MIT, Thomson's straightforward approach and  emphasis on problem-solving have shaped philosophy in  significant ways. Some of the book's contributions discuss  specific moral and political issues such as abortion,  self-defense, the rights and obligations of prospective  fathers, and political campaign finance. Other  contributions concern the foundations of moral theory,  focusing on hedonism, virtue ethics, the nature of  nonconsequentialism, and the objectivity of moral claims.  Finally, contributions in metaphysics and epistemology  discuss the existence of sets, the structures reflected in  conditional statements, and the commitments of  testimony.ContributorsJonathan Bennett, Richard L.
