It surveys a number of domains, including criminal law, tort law, contract law, family law, and medical law (particularly the realm of moral enhancement technologies) asking for each: (a) Does the existing law seek to promote personal morality? (b) If so, what is the account of morality promoted, and what is the substantive content? (c) Does it work? and (d) Is this a legitimate objective?SpringerBriefs in Law,2192-8568LawPhilosophyLawHistoryEthicsCriminal behaviorBioethicsTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal HistoryMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsCriminal BehaviorPhilosophy of LawBioethicsLawPhilosophy.LawHistory.Ethics.Criminal behavior.Bioethics.Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Criminal Behavior.Philosophy of Law.Bioethics.340.112Foster Charles1962-853477Herring JonathanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483447403321The law as a moral agent1905763UNINA
