Public policy debates often turn on how to get things done once we
know our policy objectives. But how do we make appropriate progress
when people disagree about what those objectives might be? In this
volume, a team of world-renowned scholars introduce and explore the
power of philosophy as a tool for understanding public policy
controversies. Each chapter uses the tools and concepts of philosophy
to frame an assessment of what is at stake in an enduring and recent
policy debate. Organised thematically, the volume addresses issues
such as disability policies, parenting, immigration, political
apologies, criminal punishment, data gathering, and more. Drawing on
the resources of ethical theory, social philosophy, and political
theory in a highly accessible way, the book is ideal for students and
scholars in both philosophy and public policy.
