Overpopulation and Individual Responsibility
The world is threatened by overpopulation. Current predictions are for a population rise within a hundred years that seems radically unsustainable on this planet. However, some people oppose controls on how many children people have. I argue that one reason for that is that no individual child will itself cause the environmental havoc that overpopulation will wreak. While we are willing to interfere with the use of the body to prevent a great har…
Paternalism, coercion and the unimportance of (some) liberties
Some object to paternalism when it forecloses options – when it makes it impossible, or at least very difficult, to pursue a particular course of action. This is because some argue that liberty is intrinsically valuable, and that to have liberty is to have options; thus, to lose options is to lose something intrinsically valuable. On that account, even if the loss of an option can be justified by gains of other intrinsically valuable things, it s…
When freedom of choice doesn’t matter
I will argue here that, at least in the short run, we need less freedom and more manipulation, and that this loss of freedom is not a valuable loss. Not all freedoms are equal. It is true that the ability to choose between options brings with it certain goods that we cherish, but even having many options taken from us does not prevent our achieving those goods. We need to have areas where we exercise choice, but we do not need to exercise choice …
Against autonomy
Against Autonomy
Since Mill's seminal work On Liberty, philosophers and political theorists have accepted that we should respect the decisions of individual agents when those decisions affect no one other than themselves. Indeed, to respect autonomy is often understood to be the chief way to bear witness to the intrinsic value of persons. In this book, Sarah Conly rejects the idea of autonomy as inviolable. Drawing on sources from behavioural economics and social…

The Scope of Morality
The Scope of Morality was first published in 1980. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.The scope of morality, Peter A. French contends, is much narrower than many traditional and contemporary works in ethical theory suggest. We trivialize morality if we think it has something to say about everyt…
The Right to Procreation
violates rights. This has been obscured, first, by confusing the supposed right to have as many children as you want with other rights, and, second, by associating government intervention in numbers with other, unjust government policies which historically have accompanied it. Properly understood, though, government limits on the numbers of children we may have is seen to be as just as any other government policy.1 I want to make it clear that I …
