Intrinsic Worth of Persons : Contractarianism in Moral and Political Philosophy PDF
by Jean Hampton
Edited by Daniel Farnham
Description
Contractarianism in some form has been at the center of recent debates in moral and political philosophy.
Jean Hampton was one of the most gifted philosophers involved in these debates and provided both important criticisms of prominent contractarian theories plus powerful defenses and applications of the core ideas of contractarianism.
In these essays, she brought her distinctive approach, animated by concern for the intrinsic worth of persons, to bear on topics such as guilt, punishment, self-respect, family relations, and the maintenance and justification of the state. Edited by Daniel Farnham, this collection is an essential contribution to understanding the problems and prospectus of contractarianism in moral, legal and political philosophy.
