Vulnerability: Reflections on a New Ethical Foundation for Law and Politics
This book draws together major British and
American scholars who present different perspectives on the concept of
vulnerability and Fineman's ‘vulnerability thesis’. The collection demonstrates
the broad and intellectually exciting potential of vulnerability as a
theoretical foundation for legal and political engagements with a range of
urgent contemporary challenges. Exploring ways in which vulnerability might
provide a new ethical foundation for law and politics, it is of interest to the
general reader, as well as academics and students in fields such as
jurisprudence, philosophy, legal theory, political theory, feminist theory, and
ethics.
