Cet ouvrage a été constitué à l'initiative d'un éducateur aux prises avec une crise culturelle, une crise de l'autorité : comme l'artisan qui se forme au côté d'un maître, le compagnon qui explore les régions pour en tirer un savoir-faire d'exception, il a sollicité des personnes qui sont devenues des figures d'autorité dans le champ social pour qu'elles évoquent très librement leurs souvenirs, leurs expériences, certains de ces moments qui les ont faites ce qu'elles sont. L'ouvrage n'est pas seulement un hommage rendu à quelques hommes et femmes, il est ancré dans un questionnement actuel. Quelle place pour la parole de nos prédécesseurs ? Quelle place pour notre parole ? Quelle parole pour demain ? Dans un contexte social aux prises avec une modernité individualiste, pouvons-nous cheminer vers un langage commun, vers un souci de partage et de transmission, remettant au centre de nos préoccupations le collectif et l'éducation – dans son sens premier visant à conduire hors de ? Et de ces pratiques passées, et plus récentes, de nos expériences communes, pouvons-nous tirer quelque enseignement et retisser de ce lien qui nous unit ? Une utopie était à la source de cet ouvrage, peut-être ira-t-elle jusqu'à faire parler, faire discuter, échanger…

A law requires black bus passengers to sit in the back of the bus. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves a drug for use by black heart failure patients. A state refuses to license drivers under age 16. A company avoids hiring women between the ages of 20 and 40. We routinely draw distinctions among people on the basis of characteristics that they possess or lack. While some distinctions are benign, many are morally troubling.In this boldly conceived book, Deborah Hellman develops a much-needed general theory of discrimination. She demonstrates that many familiar ideas about when discrimination is wrong—when it is motivated by prejudice, grounded in stereotypes, or simply departs from merit-based decision-making—won’t adequately explain our widely shared intuitions.Hellman argues that, in the end, distinguishing among people on the basis of traits is wrong when it demeans any of the people affected. She deftly explores the question of how we determine what is in fact demeaning.Claims of wrongful discrimination are among the most common moral claims asserted in public and private life. Yet the roots of these claims are often left unanalyzed. When Is Discrimination Wrong? explores what it means to treat people as equals and thus takes up a central problem of democracy.

"Most research in the field of attachment is on the experiences of attachment, separation and loss, and their developmental course and effects. This book widens our vision to the public domain, to consider the ways in which social institutions, culture and social policy may diminish our ability to make and maintain secure attachments. It argues that collective human security depends in part on the quality of attachments amongst individuals, a quality which, in turn, is conditioned by the structures of public life. The book invites its readers to reflect on those social processes that put our security at risk and to explore the prospects for enabling change."--Provided by publisher.
