- Summary:
-
"In Applied Ethics and Social Problems Tony Fitzpatrick presents introductions to the three most influential moral philosophies: consequentialism, Kantianism and virtue ethics. He then relates these to some of the most urgent questions in contemporary public debates about the future of welfare services, including: taxing unhealthy habits; drug legalisation; parental choice in education; abortion; euthanasia; and migration and cultural diversity." "In each case he asks a perennial question: what are the legitimate boundaries of state action and individual liberty?"--Back cover.
