Description

Relational theory has recently gained prominence in philosophy, women's and gender studies, and bioethics. Yet it has not made substantial inroads into many areas of law and policy. This groundbreaking collection seeks to remedy this situation by bringing relational theory to the field of health law and policy. At its core, relational theory posits that the human self is fundamentally constituted through relationships with others. The book explores key concepts such as autonomy, judgment, equality, justice, memory, identity, and conscience in relation to pressing issues like reproduction, resource allocation, Aboriginal health, mental health, and animal experimentation. Innovative and self-reflexive, this collection makes a bold contribution to law and policy studies that will appeal to scholars interested in social justice and seeking to challenge oppression through relational perspectives.
