In all groups - from couples to nation-states - people influence
one another. Much of this influence is benign, for example giving
advice to friends or serving as role models for our children and
students. Some forms of influence, however, are clearly morally
suspect, such as threats of violence and blackmail. A great deal of
attention has been paid to one form of morally suspect influence,
namely coercion. Less attention has been paid to what might be a
more pervasive form of influence: manipulation. The essays in this
volume address this relative imbalance by focusing on manipulation,
examining its nature, moral status, and its significance in
personal and social life. They address a number of central
questions: What counts as manipulation? How is it distinguished
from coercion and ordinary rational persuasion? Is it always wrong,
or can it sometimes be justified, and if so, when? Is manipulative
influence more benign than coercion? Can one manipulate
unintentionally? How does being manipulated to act bear on one's
moral responsibly for so acting? Given various answers to these
questions, what should we think of practices such as advertising
and seduction?
