Designed to address practical questions, applied ethics is one of
the most exciting areas in contemporary philosophy. Yet the
relevance of ethical theories to social policy has been
under-explored. Until now. In "Applied Ethics and Social Problems"
Tony Fitzpatrick presents introductions to the three most
influential moral philosophies: Consequentialism, Kantianism and
Virtue Ethics. He then relates these to some of the most urgent
questions in contemporary public debates about the future of
welfare services.These include: Taxing unhealthy habits; drug
legalisation; parental choice in education; abortion; euthanasia;
and, migration and cultural diversity. In each case he asks a
perennial question: what are the legitimate boundaries of state
action and individual liberty? Never before has there been such a
rigorous overview of the topic offered to social policy students,
academics and professionals, as well as those interested in public
policy, politics and social science. A user-friendly intervention
into these key debates, "Applied Ethics and Social Problems" will
set the agenda for years to come.
