    Stanley I. Benn.
    Summary: This book is a major contribution to the study of the philosophy of action, moral philosophy, and political philosophy. Its central idea is a radically unorthodox theory of rational action. Most contemporary Anglo-American philosophers believe that action is motivated by desire. Professor Benn rejects the doctrine and replaces it with a reformulation of Kant's ethical and political theory, in which rational action can be determined simply by principles, regardless of consequences. The book analyzes the way in which value conflicts can be rationally resolved, the objectivity of value, the concept of moral personality, the principles of non-interference and respect of persons, the ideals of autonomy and community and various aspects of individual rights - focusing on the rights to freedom, welfare, and privacy.

    A method is described for eliciting a delayed hypersensitive cell mediated immune response in the Syrian hamster cheek pouch. Using a sensitizing dose of 0.1% DNCB and a challenge dose of 0.01% DNCB 14 days later resulted in a histologically positive lymphocyte infiltrate in the challenge area. These results indicate that the hamster cheek pouch may not be an immunologically inert site and may be used for cell mediated immunity studies.
