Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book advocates for a redefined understanding of human identity in American law, emphasizing our inherent vulnerability and dependence on one another. O. Carter Snead critiques the prevailing individualistic ideology that neglects these realities and proposes a new paradigm that acknowledges the needs of the most vulnerable, such as children, the disabled, and the elderly. By addressing complex bioethical issues like abortion and end-of-life decisions, he argues for a legal framework that supports communal obligations and care, ultimately promoting a more just and humane society.
