Is it allowable for your government, or anyone else, to influence
or coerce you 'for your own sake'? This is a question about
paternalism, or interference with a person's liberty or autonomy
with the intention of promoting their good or averting harm, which
has created considerable controversy at least since John Stuart
Mill's On Liberty. Mill famously decried paternalism of any kind,
whether carried out by private individuals or the state. In this
volume of new essays, leading moral, political and legal
philosophers address how to define paternalism, its justification,
and the implications for public policy, professional ethics and
criminal law. So-called 'libertarian' or non-coercive paternalism
receives considerable attention. The discussion addresses the
nature of freedom and autonomy and the relation of individuals to
law, policy and the state. The volume will interest a wide range of
readers in political philosophy, public policy and the philosophy
of law.
