Description
Morality and Public Policy explores the complex relationship between morality and public policy in the UK, particularly in light of the growing divide between secular and religious values. Clem Henricson offers proposals to enhance public policy's ability to respond effectively to shifting moral norms and social mores.
This book draws on a range of disciplines, including moral philosophy, scientific understanding of human nature, and religion, to examine the causes, mutations, tensions, and common features of morality. It challenges conventional notions of 'moral progress' and the supremacy of empathy, instead arguing that morality involves managing the full spectrum of human impulses.
The book's findings have significant implications for our understanding of the interface between morality and public policy, and offer a fresh perspective on how to address the complex moral issues facing society today.
