Louis Pojman
I just heard about this today. Louis Pojman passed away a couple of months ago. He died of Hepatitis C, contracted years ago through a contaminated blood transfusion. He was the author or editor of 34 books and over 100 articles.
I have taught a number of his essays in my ethics courses. Though I never found myself in agreement with him, he was a formidable figure in the field of ethics. He also had a kind of honesty that I found refreshing, particularly in his work on capital punishment. There again, I could never agree with him but he was very much worth reading and teaching.
There will be a memorial service in NY during the APA: 2pm at the All Souls Unitarian Church in Manhattan on the 30th of December.
