Neglected Complexities
This issue of Ethics and Social Welfare again presents a rich and intellectually ambitious collection of articles that collectively illuminate a defining challenge of contemporary ethics and social
Preventative Social Care and Community Development in Wales
Prevention is becoming ever more central in UK care policy for older people, though precisely what this entails, and how it works most effectively in social care and support, remains ambiguous. Set against the “newness” of recent social care legislation in Wales, this article explores the perspectives of professionals on prevention and community development, particularly for older people. This draws on qualitative data collected from 11 Welsh loc…

No one was clapping for us’
The inequalities laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic have had particular implications for the wellbeing of family carers. This article considers these impacts from a social justice perspective, drawing on elements of the ethics of care and the capabilities approach, as well as findings from interviews with 30 family carers in Wales, UK, during the initial months of ‘lockdown’ in 2020. In the interviews, key themes emerged around the sense of loss,…

Ethical relations to the past – whether to ancestors, the dead, historical injustices, events with contested interpretations – are complex and often elusive. The representations of history are, as
Discretion as Ethical Practice
Liberalism Without Universalism?
This paper is partly about liberalism, partly about communitarianism and mostly about the drawbacks of both. It is also, and primarily, about univeralism. I use this term in various, not always interchangeable, senses. Two, though, are predominant: the idea that to be adequate, ethics and ideas of political progress require, at some level, a notion of universal respect for human beings qua human beings; and the idea that the critical norms used i…
In Defence of Political Parties
Over the past 10 years, the literature on the normative dimensions of partisanship and party politics has rapidly grown. Yet, however rich and diverse, this literature lacked so far a single text able to comprehensively map the contours of the existing debates and, at the same time, open up a range of future research avenues. Jonathan White and Lea Ypi’s The Meaning of Partisanship does an excellent job at fulfilling both tasks. First, it offers …
Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children
Les familles dans la philosophie normative, entre groupes et individus
Les définitions de la famille incluent généralement le terme de « groupe » – et pour la plupart des individus, la famille représente une affiliation première. La famille occupe une place déterminante dans les analyses sociales et politiques ; pourtant, elle apparaît très peu dans les débats de théorie politique normative sur les groupes. Cet article se demande si les familles sont bien des groupes, au sens où les théoriciens politiques abordent l…

Competence, Ethical Practice and Professional Ethics Teaching
Ethical practice has a complex and ambiguous relationship to notions of ‘competence’. Both, of course, seem vital elements of suitability to practise in professional roles across the settings of health and social care. But exactly how they relate is less self-evident. Is there such a thing as ‘ethical competence’? This article argues that there is, and that is it something which we might assess in the teaching of professional ethics. After compar…
Caring about Deliberation, Deliberating about Care
If care matters, how we talk about care matters—and we should care about how such talk takes place. Dialogue about institutional and informal practices of care is widely recognized as an important part of shaping such practices and holding them to account. But what kinds of dialogue and what kind of work should they do? This article considers the relationship between theoretical accounts of deliberation (especially in recent literature on deliber…
Brighouse and Swift on the family, ethics and social justice
The family disrupts equality while also, think many, providing goods of unique value. In Family Values, Brighouse and Swift tackle both of these tendencies, offering a refined and distinctive liberal egalitarian account both of the value of family life, and the limits of what may be done in its name. It builds up from an account of children's specific interests to a defence of ‘familial relationship goods’ as providing the best way of satisfying …

Inclusion and Participation
Democracy is crucially about inclusion: a theory of democracy must account for who is to be included in the democratic process, how, and on what terms. Inclusion, if conceived democratically, is fraught with tensions. This article identifies three such tensions, arising respectively in: (i) the inauguration of the democratic public; (ii) enabling equal participation; and (iii) the relationship between instrumental and non-instrumental accounts of…
Climate change and normativity
Is liberalism adaptable enough to the ecological agenda to deal satisfactorily with the challenges of anthropogenic climate change while leaving its normative foundations intact? Compatibilists answer yes; incompatibilists say no. Comparing such answers, this article argues that it is not discrete liberal principles which impede adapatability, so much as the constructivist model (exemplified in Rawls) of what counts as a valid normative principle…

Values and Ontology
Values, Diversity and the Justification of EU Institutions
Liberal theories of justice typically claim that political institutions should be justifiable to those who live under them – whatever their values. The more such values diverge, the greater the challenge of justifiability. Diversity of this kind becomes especially pronounced when the institutions in question are supranational. Focusing on the case of the European Union, this article aims to address a basic question: what kinds of values should in…

Postmodernism and its ironies
On Thinking “Post-Foundationally” about The Public/Private Distinction
Postmodernism, Pragmatism, and the Possibility of an Ethical Relation to the Past
Much recent theory of an anti-foundationalist or ‘post-ist’ hue has made a point of returning us to historicity. If modern theory sought the universal, then postmodern theory has favoured the particular, the situated, and the historically contextual: the little narrative, the silenced voice, the marginalised other. This is, to be sure, a simplification of both sides of the comparison. But it opens up a pressing question. What kinds of relationshi…
Soft Universalisms
Recent critiques of normative universalism have helped entrench a dichotomy between formalist universal egalitarian claims (typical of the liberal tradition) and particularist attention to cultural difference (in contemporary communitarianism, and in more or less postmodernist approaches). Focusing on the work of Richard Rorty and Iris Marion Young, this article explores whether, and how, we might find space for a universalism which avoids proble…
Philosophy and Politics
Ethics and Social Ontology
Normative theory, in various idioms, has grown wary of questions of ontology-social and otherwise. Thus modern debates in ethics have tended to take place at some distance from (for example) debates in social theory. One arguable casualty of this has been due consideration of relational factors (between agents and the social structures they inhabit) in the interrogation of ethical values. Part 1 of this paper addresses some examples of this tende…
