Issues concerning the upbringing of children are among the most
contested in modern political debate. How should childrearing
rights and resources be distributed between families? To what
extent are parents morally permitted to shape the beliefs and
desires of their children? At what age should children acquire
adult rights, such as the right to vote? Justice and Legitimacy in
Upbringing sets out a liberal conception of political morality that
supports a set of answers to these questions which many liberals
have been reluctant to accept. The central argument is that the
ideals of justice and individual autonomy place significant
constraints on both governments and parents. Clayton insists that
while their interests should count directly in allocating
childrearing rights, parents should exercise their rights in
accordance with these liberal ideals. He argues that we owe our
children a childhood that develops their sense of justice, but in
which further attempts to enrol them into particular religious
practices, for instance, are illegitimate. Justice and Legitimacy
in Upbringing is a work of applied political philosophy that will
be of interest to students of political theory, the philosophy of
education, and social and public policy.
