This title was first published in 2003. This text seeks to show the
importance of housing to individuals and in the broader context of
social welfare. It offers a universal philosophical justification
for housing provision based on a detailed theoretical consideration
of need, choice, rights and responsibility. The implications of
basing housing policies on these concepts are considered. Dr Peter
King suggests that we should see housing as, above all, a
pre-requisite for human flourishing. As such it is an essentially
private activity. As a consequence, he argues, housing policy
should be limited to a consideration of the enhancement of the
personal fulfilment of individuals rather than seeking to further
collective or utilitarian ends. Dr King's purpose in this book is
to explore housing using the techniques and methods of social
philosophy. He seeks to combat relativist approaches to housing
discourse with a theoretical appreciation of housing based on
universalist principles derived from Kant and Nozick. The book
therefore addresses housing issues with a philosophical rigour, but
without ignoring key policy debates.
