Sinopsis

Moving beyond traditional liberal versus conservative arguments for and against abortion, Abortion: Three Perspectives is an up-to-date, accessible, and engaging exploration of this highly contentious issue. Featuring a triangular debate between four prominent moral and political philosophers, it presents three different political perspectives: Michael Tooley argues the liberal pro-choice approach, Philip E. Devine and Celia Wolf-Devine argue the communitarian pro-life approach, and Alison M. Jaggar argues the gender justice approach. However, each of the authors', self-identifications is also challenged by one or more of the other authors, who offer alternative interpretations of liberalism, communitarianism, and feminism, as well as of what it means to be pro-choice and pro-life. All of these viewpoints are controversial, among both philosophers and general readers. Furthermore, because the arguments do not rely on religious authority, they are directed at all readers, regardless of religious affiliation.
