Description

Vulnerability, Autonomy, and Applied Ethics by Christine Straehle explores the concept of vulnerability in moral philosophy, political philosophy, and applied ethics. This volume brings together theorists and bioethicists to discuss vulnerability as an action-guiding principle, shedding light on its significance in individual autonomy. The book offers a new perspective on vulnerability, highlighting its heuristic value in liberal political theory and moral philosophy. It also illustrates how applying the concept of vulnerability can assist in making moral judgments, particularly in medical ethics. This innovative approach provides principles for decision-making in complex cases, making it a valuable resource for both theorists and practitioners. By examining vulnerability from different angles, this book offers insights into its role in applied ethics and its potential to inform moral judgments.
