Abstract

It is a distinct pleasure to contribute to this festschrift volume honoring Joseph Boyle. I have admired, and learned much from, the wide range Dr. Boyle’s scholarship—his contributions to so-called “revised” natural law epistemology, his analysis of the moral status of nuclear deterrence as a strategy, and his perceptive discussions of particular issues in bioethics and medical ethics.
