S. Matthew Liao argues here that children have a right to be loved.
To do so he investigates questions such as whether children are
rightholders; what grounds a child's right to beloved; whether love
is an appropriate object of a right; and other philosophical and
practical issues. His proposal is that all human beings have rights
to the fundamental conditions for pursuing a good life; therefore,
as human beings, children have human rights to the fundamental
conditions for pursuing a good life. Since being loved is one of
those fundamental conditions, children thus have a right to be
loved. Liao shows that this claim need not be merely empty
rhetoric, and that the arguments for this right can hang together
as a coherent whole. This is the first book to make a sustained
philosophical case for the right of children to be loved. It makes
a unique contribution to the fast-growing literature on family
ethics, in particular, on children's rights and parental rights and
responsibilities, and to the emerging field of the philosophy of
human rights.
