Children's Health, Human Development, and the Twin Aims of Justice
Ruth Faden (Johns Hopkins University) and Madison Powers (Georgetown University)
19.30 – 21.00, University of Zurich, Rämistrasse 71, KOL – G – AULA
In their groundbreaking book, entitled Social Justice: The Moral Foundations of Public Health and Health Policy (Oxford University Press 2006), Madison Powers and Ruth Faden argue that social justice should be the basis of public health and health policy.
Until relatively recently, only few theories of justice focus on health directly and even fewer focus on children. Instead, many theories emphasize the importance of the social conditions necessary for economic opportunities and the free pursuit of self-chosen life plans by autonomous adults.
And yet, the public health literature is replete with evidence about the negative impact on human well being, life long, of failing to secure adequate levels of biological and social functioning well before individuals become autonomous adults, beginning at the earliest stages of life.
In this public lecture, Ruth Faden and Madison Powers therefore argue for the centrality of a concern for children's health and other core dimensions of well-being within a theory that gives precedence to the need to combat densely woven patterns of systematic disadvantage.
The public lecture will be of interest to philosophers and bioethicists, but it will also be of particular interest to policy-makers, public health experts and students, medical doctors and those generally interested in the issues of justice and health.
