Coercion and Autonomy: Philosophical Foundations, Issues, and Practices (Contributions in Philosophy)

Few subjects in contemporary philosophical and political debate are more cloaked in ambiguity than the issue of coercion -- whether on an individual or global scale or in areas as diverse as family relations, employment, and international finance. In this first full-length treatment of the topic, Professor Rosenbaum carefully reviews previous thinking on this question and develops a persuasive original theory focusing on the conceptual relationship between human social autonomy and coercion.Allen Rosenbaum is the author of 'Coercion and Autonomy: Philosophical Foundations, Issues, and Practices (Contributions in Philosophy)', published 1986 under ISBN 9780313228193 and ISBN 0313228191.
