Is it allowable for your government, or anyone else, to influence or coerce you 'for your own sake'? This is a question about paternalism, or interference with a person's liberty or autonomy with the intention of promoting their good or averting harm, which has created considerable controversy at least since John Stuart Mill's On Liberty. Mill famously decried paternalism of any kind, whether carried out by private individuals or the state. In this volume of new essays, leading moral, political and legal philosophers address how to define paternalism, its justification, and the implications for public policy, professional ethics and criminal law. So-called 'libertarian' or non-coercive paternalism receives considerable attention. The discussion addresses the nature of freedom and autonomy and the relation of individuals to law, policy and the state. The volume will interest a wide range of readers in political philosophy, public policy and the philosophy of law.

Many discussions of J. S. Mill's concept of liberty focus too narrowly on On Liberty and fail to acknowledge that his treatment of related issues elsewhere may modify its leading doctrines. Mill and Paternalism demonstrates how a contextual reading suggests that in Principles of Political Economy, and also his writings on Ireland, India and on domestic issues like land reform, Mill proposed a substantially more interventionist account of the state than On Liberty seems to imply. This helps to explain Mill's sympathies for socialism after 1848, as well as his Malthusianism and feminism, which, in conjunction with Harriet Taylor's views, are central to his later discussions of the family and marriage. Feminism, indeed, is shown to provide the answer to the problem which most agitated Mill, overpopulation. Thus Gregory Claeys sheds new lights on many of Mill's overarching preoccupations, including the theory of liberty at the heart of On Liberty.

Donald VanDeVeer probes the moral complexities of the question: under what conditions is it permissible to intervene invasively in the lives of competent persons--for example, by deception, force, or coercive threat--for their own good? In a work with broad significance for law, public policy, professional-client relations, and private interactions, he presents a theory of an autonomy-respecting" paternalism.Originally published in 1986.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Sind konsequentialistische Ethiktheorien prinzipiell in der Lage, die Konzepte von Autonomie und individueller Freiheit angemessen zu integrieren? Verfügt der Konsequentialismus über das theoretische Rüstzeug, paternalistische Eingriffe in die Freiheit oder Autonomie der Individuen angemessen zu begrenzen? Dies sind die zentralen Fragen des als Thesis-Meets-Critics angelegten vorliegenden Bandes; und Thomas Gutmann beantwortet sie in seinem Hauptbeitrag negativ. Seine These lautet, dass der Konsequentialismus aus sich heraus weder eine angemessene normative Theorie noch eine Kritik des Paternalismus hervorzubringen vermag, wenn innerhalb eines moralischen oder rechtlichen Rahmens der Einzelne als Einzelner respektiert und ein geschützter individueller Entscheidungsspielraum etabliert werden soll. Die weiteren Beiträge sind der kritischen Reflexion dieser These gewidmet und prüfen die Argumente, die Thomas Gutmann für sie vorbringt. Eine Replik Gutmanns auf die kritische Diskussion seines Hauptbeitrags beschließt den Band. Die agonale Form dieser Debatte, Ergebnis der gemeinsamen Diskussion zwischen den Mitgliedern, Fellows und MitarbeiterInnen der Münsteraner Kolleg-Forschergruppe „Theoretische Grundfragen der Normenbegründung in Medizinethik und Biopolitik“, ermöglicht in detaillierter und pointierter Weise, Rechenschaft über die Argumentationsressourcen zu geben, die zur Klärung der zentralen Fragen herangezogen werden müssen.

New Threats to Freedom In the twentieth century, free people faced a number of mortal threats,ranging from despotism, fascism,and communism to the looming menace of global terrorism. While the struggle against some of these overt dangers continues, some insidious new threats seem to have slipped past our intellectual defenses. These often unchallenged threats are quietly eroding our hard-won freedoms and, in some cases, are widely accepted as beneficial. In New Threats to Freedom, editor and author Adam Bellow has assembled an all-star lineup of innovative thinkers to challenge these insidi

Von seiner Genese im 18. bis zu seinem Kollaps im 20. Jahrhundert erweist sich das bürgerliche Vatermodell als politisch und literarisch zentral: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Geschichte dieses Konstrukts erstmals systematisch mit Blick auf das Zusammenspiel von paternalen Herrschaftsmechanismen und der Emotionalisierung der Familie im Kontext des bürgerlichen Wertesystems. Literarisch etablierte familiale Strukturen werden dabei als wichtige Blaupause für die Repräsentation von Herrschaft sowie für das Zusammenspiel von Staat und Gesellschaft erkennbar. Das Buch verfolgt die Gratwanderung des bürgerlichen "Vaters" zwischen moderner Herrschaft und Emotionen unter drei leitenden Aspekten: zum einen bezüglich der Regulierung der filialen Sexualität, zum anderen hinsichtlich der Ermächtigung des "Vaters" in einer spezifischen, neuen privaten Wertesphäre, und zum dritten mit Blick auf den Funktionswandel des "Vaters" im Laufe der Jahrhunderte. Die auf dieser Basis nachvollzogene Entwicklung des bürgerlichen Vaters lässt sich als Vorgeschichte und damit auch als konsequente Historisierung wirkungsmächtiger anthropologischer Theorien (wie etwa Freuds Überlegungen zu Vaterschaft und Herrschaft) lesen.

This book is an unorthodox biography of William Hesketh Lever, 1st Lord Leverhulme (1851-1925), the founder of the Lever Brothers' Sunlight Soap empire. Unlike previous biographies, which have focused on the man's life story and eccentricities, or just considered one aspect of his career, So clean places him squarely in his social and cultural context and is fully informed by recent historical scholarship. Much more than a warts-and-all biography, the book uses Lever as an entry-point for contextualized and comparative essays on the history of advertising; on factory paternalism, town planning, the Garden City movement and their ramifications across the twentieth century; and on colonialism and forced labour in the Belgian Congo and the South Pacific. It concludes with a discussion of his extraordinary attempt, in his final years, to transform crofting and fishing in the Outer Hebrides.Written in an engaging and accessible style, So Clean will appeal to academics and students working in business, social, cultural and imperial history.

Slaveholders were preoccupied with presenting slavery as a benign, paternalistic institution in which the planter took care of his family and slaves were content with their fate. In this book, Eugene D. Genovese and Elizabeth Fox-Genovese discuss how slaveholders perpetuated and rationalized this romanticized version of life on the plantation. Slaveholders' paternalism had little to do with ostensible benevolence, kindness and good cheer. It grew out of the necessity to discipline and morally justify a system of exploitation. At the same time, this book also advocates the examination of masters' relations with white plantation laborers and servants - a largely unstudied subject. Southerners drew on the work of British and European socialists to conclude that all labor, white and black, suffered de facto slavery, and they championed the South's 'Christian slavery' as the most humane and compassionate of social systems, ancient and modern.
