Altruism, Welfare and the Law PDF
by Charles Foster, Jonathan Herring
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Law series
Description
This book is an assault on the notion that it is empirically accurate and legally and philosophically satisfactory to see humans as atomistic entities.
It contends that our welfare is inextricably entangled with that of others, and accordingly law and ethics, in determining our best interests, should recognise the central importance of relationality, the performance of obligations, and (even apparently injurious) altruism.
