In making the argument for the remedy of inequality, contemporary
political philosophers often emphasize the arbitrariness of
disadvantage, stressing how one's lot in life is to a significant
extent determined by the circumstances of one's birth, that is, in
which family, and in what part of the world. In the latter
instance, people differ in how well they live in a large part
because of their context in the global order. But equally important
for a person's chances in life is the family that raises her (if
the person is lucky enough to have a family in the first place). In
Family Values: the Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships, Harry
Brighouse and Adam Swift provide a systematic analysis of the
morality and politics of the family, exploring why families are
valuable, whether people have a right to parent, what rights and
duties parents have, and, in particular, what rights children have
that may constrain the rights of their parents. The essays in this
volume assess Brighouse and Swift's contribution, taking up a
number of controversial issues about autonomy, human flourishing,
parental rights, and indeed the nature of childhood itself.
Contributors offer a range of arguments, some challenging, others
complementing, of Brighouse and Swift's account of the ethics of
parent-child relationships. The chapters in this book were
originally published in a special issue in the Critical Review of
International Social and Political Philosophy.
