This book is a collection of twelve essays devoted to Michael
Boylan's important work in moral philosophy, A Just Society. The
collection is thematically organized to mirror Boylan's own volume,
so the first half explores fundamental issues of justification in
ethics while the second half focuses on issues involving ethical
discourse, social justice, and the moral foundations of public
policy. In their critical and engaging essays, the authors
challenge many of the original and controversial arguments
developed and defended by Boylan in his book, and Boylan responds
in a lengthy and philosophically rich reply. The book will appeal
both to philosophers working on the cutting edge of moral and
political theory and to public policy practitioners working to make
society more just
From Disability Theory to Practice pays tribute to Professor Jerome
Bickenbach's highly influential and immensely important work.
Professor Bickenbach is a scholar, policy-maker, and activist, of
international stature. This volume brings together ten friends,
mentors, and mentees, who have penned eight chapters engaging in
topics that range, as the title suggests and as Professor
Bickenbach's work has spanned, from theory to practice. This volume
begins, much as Professor Bickenbach's career has, by grappling
with philosophical and sociological issues related to the
definition of disability, its relation to health, and conceptions
of justice for people with disabilities. Subsequently, these
conceptions are utilized to advance policy suggestions that range
from assisted dying legislation, mental health policy, and the
implementation of the International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health.
