Vulnerability, Autonomy, and Applied Ethics

Beschreibung

Vulnerability is an important concern of moral philosophy, political philosophy and many discussions in applied ethics. Yet the concept itself-what it is and why it is morally salient-is under-theorized. The Ethics of Vulnerability brings together theorists working on conceptualizing vulnerability as an action-guiding principle in these discussions, as well as bioethicists, medical ethicists and public policy theorists working on instances of vulnerability in specific contexts.
