While paternalism has been a long-standing philosophical issue, it
has recently received renewed attention among scholars and the
general public. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of
Paternalism is an outstanding reference source to the key topics,
problems and debates in this exciting subject and is the first
collection of its kind. Comprising twenty-seven chapters by a team
of international contributors the handbook is divided into five
parts: * What is Paternalism? * Paternalism and Ethical Theory *
Paternalism and Political Philosophy * Paternalism without Coercion
* Paternalism in Practice Within these sections central debates,
issues and questions are examined, including: how should
paternalism be defined or characterized? How is paternalism related
to such moral notions as rights, well-being, and autonomy? When is
paternalism morally objectionable? What are the legitimate limits
of government benevolence? To what extent should medical practice
be paternalistic? The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of
Paternalism is essential reading for students and researchers in
applied ethics and political philosophy. The handbook will also be
very useful for those in related fields, such as law, medicine,
sociology and political science.
