Public Health Policy and Ethics brings together philosophers and
practitioners to address the foundations and principles upon which
public health policy may be advanced. What is the basis that
justifies public health in the first place? Why should individuals
be disadvantaged for the sake of the group? How do policy concerns
and clinical practice work together and work against each other?
Can the boundaries of public health be extended to include social
ills that are amenable to group-dynamic solutions? These are some
of the crucial questions that form the core of this volume of
original essays sure to cause practitioners to engage in a critical
re-evaluation of the role of ethics in public health policy.
This volume is unique because of its philosophical approach. It
develops a theoretical basis for public health and then examines
cutting-edge issues of practice that include social and political
issues of public health. In this way the book extends the usual
purview of public health. Public Health Policy and Ethics is of
interest to those working in public health policy, ethics and
social philosophy. It may be used as a textbook for courses on
public health policy and ethics, medical ethics, social philosophy
and applied or public philosophy.
