Do philosophers have a responsibility to their society that is
distinct from their responsibility to it as citizens? This edited
volume explores both what type of contribution philosophy can make
and what type of reasoning is appropriate when addressing public
matters now. These questions are posed by leading international
scholars working in the fields of moral and political philosophy.
Each contribution also investigates the central issue of how to
combine critical, rational analysis with a commitment to
politically relevant public engagement. The contributions to this
volume analyse issues raised in practical ethics, including
abortion, embryology, and assisted suicide. They consider the role
of ethical commitment in the philosophical analysis of contemporary
political issues, and engage with matters of public policy such as
poverty, the arts, meaningful work, as well as the evidence base
for policy. They also examine the normative legitimacy of power,
including the use of violence.
