Drawing together and adding to the latest thinking on morality, its causes, shifts, tensions, divergences and common features, Morality and Public Policy is intended to contribute to the rectification of this deficit. Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: HPQ; JMH; JPA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156. .
Spanning religion, moral philosophy and scientific understanding of the human condition, this unique book draws together and adds to the latest thinking on morality, its causes, mutations, tensions and common features. Challenging misplaced concepts of `moral progress' and the supremacy of empathy, it presents proposals to enhance the capacity of public policy to respond more effectively to morality and associated shifts in social mores in different cultural settings.
