    Bedau’S Introduction Sets out the Issues and Shows How the Various Authors Shed Light on Each Aspect of Them

    CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE in focus How can civil disobedience be defined and distinguished from revolution or lawful protest? What, if anything, justifies civil disobedience? Can nonviolent civil disobedience ever be effective? The issues surrounding civil disobedience have been discussed since at least 399 BC and, in the wake of such recent events as the protest at Tiananmen Square, are still of great relevance. By presenting classic and current philosophical reflections on the issues, this book presents all the basic materials needed for a philosophical assessment of the nature and justification of civil disobedience. The pieces included range from classic statements by Plato, Thoreau, and Martin Luther King, to essays by leading contemporary thinkers such as Rawls, Raz, and Singer. Hugo Adam Bedau’s introduction sets out the issues and shows how the various authors shed light on each aspect of them. Hugo Adam Bedau is Austin Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University.

NORMAN DANIELS Department of Philosophy, Tufts University Must no one at all, then, be called happy while he lives; must we, like Solon says, see the end? Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics 1:10 HERE HAVE BEEN GROWING COMPLAINTS ABOUT "ageism" and "age-bias" in various settings in the health care system, especially with regard to long-term care. Moreover, there is a growing perception that age groups are competing for scarce medical and other resources, and that this competition will intensify.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-69998-3 - Just Health: Meeting Health Needs Fairly Norman Daniels Frontmatter More information Just Health In this new book by the award-winning author of Just Health Care, Norman Daniels develops a comprehensive theory of justice for health that answers three key questions:What is the special moral importance of health? When are health inequalities unjust? How can we meet health needs fairly when we cannot meet them all? The theory has implications for national and global health policy:Can we meet health needs fairly in aging societies? Or protect health in the workplace while respecting individual liberty? Or meet profes- sional obligations and obligations of justice without conflict? When is health reform or the selection of patients for treatment for HIV or coverage for catastrophic health benefits fair? When is an effort to reduce health disparities or to set priorities in realizing a human right to health fair? What do richer, healthier societies owe poorer, sicker societies? Just Health: Meeting Health Needs Fairly explores the many ways that social justice is good for the health of populations in developed and developing countries. Norman Daniels is Mary B. Saltonstall Professor and Professor of Ethics and Populations Health at Harvard School of Public Health. A member of the Institute of Medicine, a Fellow of the Hastings Cen- ter, a Founding Member of the National Academy of Social Insur- ance and of the International Society for Equity in Health, he has consulted for organizations, commissions, and governments, includ- ing the United Nations, WHO, and the President’s Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine, on issues of justice and health policy.
