Description

Paternalism Theory and Practice by Christian Coons and Michael Weber explores the complex issue of interference with individual liberty or autonomy in order to promote their good or prevent harm. This volume of new essays examines how to define paternalism, its justification, and the implications for public policy, professional ethics, and criminal law. The discussion delves into the nature of freedom and autonomy, as well as the relationship between individuals and law, policy, and the state. The book offers a nuanced exploration of libertarian or non-coercive paternalism, shedding light on its significance in political philosophy, public policy, and the philosophy of law. This collection of essays will be of interest to readers who engage with political philosophy, public policy, and the philosophy of law, providing valuable insights into a contentious topic that has sparked debate since John Stuart Mill's On Liberty.
