Children's Rights and Moral Parenting offers systematic treatment
of a variety of issues involving the intersection of the rights of
children and the moral responsibility of parents. Mark C. Vopat
offers a theory of the relationship between children, parents, and
the state that can be applied to the real life decisions that
parents are often in the position to make on behalf of their
children. In many instances, our current view of parental "rights"
has granted parents far more discretion than is morally warranted.
Vopat arrives at this conclusion by carefully considering the
unique status children have; socially, legally, and morally in most
western societies. Children's Rights and Moral Parenting is
essentially contractualist in the Rawlsian tradition. While it may
appear counterintuitive to speak of children in terms of the social
contract tradition, there is much this approach can do to provide
some conceptual clarity to the nature of the relationship between
children, parents and the state. The overarching theme of the book
is the moral independence of children from extreme forms of
parental and, at times, social control. The objective of the book
is to provide an argument for extending the range of things owed to
children, as well as making the case for fully including children
in the moral community.

This anthology asks students to focus on the assumptions underlying
the activity of business. Why does society provide special
protections for businesses? What is the purpose of a corporation?
What do businesses owe society? And are there some things that
shouldn't be distributed by the free market? These questions are
addressed through classic readings from such central figures as
Smith and Marx, as well as contemporary selections. A number of
compelling real-world case studies are also discussed.
