Description

Ethics and Public Policy: A Philosophical Inquiry is a comprehensive exploration of the moral foundations of public policy. Renowned philosopher Jonathan Wolff examines key areas of controversy, such as animal experimentation, gambling regulation, and drug policy, from a philosophical perspective. Through in-depth analysis, Wolff identifies fundamental questions that underpin both philosophical inquiry and public policy, including the role of idealism versus pragmatism and the relationship between philosophy and practical decision-making. The book's revised edition includes four new chapters on emerging issues like risky technologies and immigration, providing a timely and thought-provoking resource for policymakers and scholars alike. This second edition offers a valuable introduction to philosophical inquiry and its relevance to public policy, making it an ideal starting point for those new to the subject or a useful reference for anyone grappling with complex moral dilemmas.
