Biography
Craig M. White has been a lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. He is the author of Iraq: The Moral Reckoning (2010). A former US diplomat, he served for 20 years in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
"Anscombe sounded the trumpet concerning the ethical import of intention. In this fine, rewarding, readable, slender volume Craig White thoroughly and fruitfully engages with those who aspire to avoid consequentialism while denying intent’s moral significance. White ably answers Anscombe’s call to arms in this philosophically deep defense of increasingly uncommon common sense. Recalling Anscombe’s admonition, one does well to read and learn from White’s engaging treatment of this crucially important topic."
