Paternalistic intervention, especially in the context of modern medicine and health care, is the issue of this monograph, which aims to define and morally assess paternalistic interventions through a defined conceptual background. The method employed for this purpose is that of applied philosophical ethics in the analytic tradition. It is argued that there is a marked distinction between strong and weak paternalism. Strong paternalism is defined as the violation of the autonomy of a patient, when that person is capable of autonomous decision-making. Weak paternalism is the violation of autonomy when a person is temporarily incapable of self-determined decision-making.
