Summary
That we owe duties to others is a commonplace, the subject of countless philosophical treatises and monographs. Morality is interpersonal and other-directed, many claim. But what of what we owe ourselves? Paul Schofield explores how the theory of duty to self impacts many areas of moral philosophy, including practical reasoning, moral psychology, and moral emotions. He also discusses many prominent topics in political philosophy through this lens, including distributive justice, coercion, law, legitimacy, and paternalism.
