Health justice concerns the justified use of publicly funded
resources in medicine, health care, and public health. Theories of
Health Justice explores the philosophical implications of the
assumption that we should use such resources for the purposes of
achieving health. Providing an introduction to the debate about
health justice, the book offers clear conceptual definitions of
health and disease, as well as an analysis of the different
relevant theories of justice. The author goes on to argue that a
sufficientarian account of justice (the idea that we should aim to
make sure that each citizen has enough) is most fitting for the
purposes of health justice. He defends this specific theory of
health justice in relation to health care and public health, before
expanding the argument to engage with issues in global justice.
This text is ideal for students interested in the philosophy of
medicine, medical ethics and philosophy and public policy.
This work sets the stage regarding debates about paternalism and
health care for years to come. The anthology is organized around
four parts: i) The concept of paternalism and theoretical issues
regarding the idea of anti-paternalism, ii) strategies for
justifying different forms of paternalism, iii) paternalism in
psychiatry and psychotherapy, iv) paternalism and public health,
and v) paternalism and reproductive medicine. Medical paternalism
was arguably one of the main drivers of debates in medical ethics
and has led to a wide acknowledgement of the value of patient
autonomy. However, more recent developments in health care, such as
the increasing significance of public health measures and the
commercialization of medical services, have led to new social
circumstances and hence to the need to rethink issues regarding
paternalism. This work provides an invaluable source for many
scholars and practitioners, since it deals in new and original ways
with one of the main and oldest issue in health care ethics.

Philosophy and psychiatry share many topics and problems. For
example, the "solutions" of the psychiatry of the philosophical
body-soul problem have direct effects on the self-image of the
discipline. Despite these obvious overlappings, and unlike the
English-speaking countries, interdisciplinary research on
"philosophical psychopathology" has been scarce in Germany. The
current anthology closes these gaps, because the authors - renowned
experts as well as young scientists, whose new approaches open
promising perspectives - come from both disciplines. The individual
contributions deal with philosophical debates as they arise within
the context of psychiatric theory and practice.
What is the basis of our capacity to act morally? This is a
question that has been discussed for millennia, with philosophical
debate typically distinguishing two sources of morality: reason and
sentiment. This collection aims to shed light on whether the human
capacity to feel for others really is central for morality and, if
so, in what way. To tackle these questions, the authors discuss how
fellow feeling is to be understood: its structure, content and
empirical conditions. Also discussed are the exact roles that
relevant psychological features - specifically: empathy, sympathy
and concern - may play within morality. The collection is unique in
bringing together the key participants in the various discussions
of the relation of fellow feeling to moral norms, moral concepts
and moral agency. By integrating conceptually sophisticated and
empirically informed perspectives, Forms of Fellow Feeling will
appeal to readers from philosophy, psychology, sociology and
cultural studies.
