Putting it Into Practice. 330 $aThis book is an assault on the notion that it is empirically accurate and legally and philosophically satisfactory to see humans as atomistic entities. It contends that our welfare is inextricably entangled with that of others, and accordingly law and ethics, in determining our best interests, should recognise the central importance of relationality, the performance of obligations, and (even apparently injurious) altruism. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Law,$x2192-8568 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aEthics 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aInternational law 606 $aComparative law 606 $aPsychology 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aComparative law. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 14$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 676 $a171.8 700 $aFoster$b Charles$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0222517 702 $aHerring$b Jonathan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483848903321 996 $aAltruism, Welfare and the Law$92844282 997 $aUNINA
