Description
Moral Regulation by Mark Smith explores fundamental moral questions that continue to perplex us. This appraisal examines the work of Jock Young, one of the key architects of moral panic ideas, and considers whether these concepts can help or hinder our understanding of complex issues such as life and death, good and evil, and sex and the body. The book delves into the nature of 'the moral' in various debates about moral panic, moral regulation, and moral discourse. By examining this topic, Smith aims to shed light on the underlying moral questions that remain contentious. Through a critical analysis of these concepts, Moral Regulation offers a nuanced exploration of the complex issues at hand, inviting readers to engage with the fundamental moral questions that continue to shape our understanding of the world.
