Cohen. 264 1 $a Abingdon, Oxon ; $b Routledge, $c 2015. 300 $a 233 pages ; $c 24 cm 520 $a "What makes a policy work? What should policies attempt to do, and what ought they not do? These questions are at the heart of both policy-making and ethics. Philosophy, Ethics and Public Policy: An Introduction examines these questions and more. Andrew I. Cohen uses contemporary examples and controversies, mainly drawn from policy in a North American context, to illustrate important flashpoints in ethics and public policy, such as: - public policy and globalization: sweatshops; medicine and the developing world; immigration - marriage, family and education: same-sex marriage; women and the family; education and Intelligent Design - justifying and responding to state coercion: torture; reparations and restorative justice - the ethics of the body and commodification: the human organ trade, and factory farming of animals. Each chapter illustrates how ethics offers ways of prioritizing some policy alternatives and imagining new ones. Reflecting on various themes in globalization, markets, and privacy, the chapters are windows to enduring significant debates about what states may do to shape our behavior. Overall, the book will help readers understand how ethics can frame policymaking, while also suggesting that sometimes the best policy is no policy. Including annotated further reading, this is an excellent introduction to a fast-growing subject for students in Philosophy, Public Policy, and related disciplines"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Policy sciences $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Social policy $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Economic policy $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Public welfare $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Economic policy $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902045 650 7 $a Policy sciences $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068810 650 7 $a Public welfare $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083307 650 7 $a Social policy $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122756 650 7 $a Ethik. $0 (DE-588)4015602-3 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politik. $0 (DE-588)4046514-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Philosophie. $0 (DE-588)4076226-9 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Ethik. $0 (DE-588)4129503-1 $2 gnd 941 $a 3 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044615.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20151121012042.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151103031931.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A65F6378463711E5A53E10B0DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
