Paternalism: Moral Theory and Legal Practice

By Antal Szerletics

Paternalism interferes with a person's liberty or autonomy to promote the person's good or to protect him from self-harm. The aim of this book is to critically evaluate the conceptual and justificatory models related to paternalism in the context of moral philosophy. Analysis of selected legal cases complements the theoretical investigation.
