Summary
This book serves to introduce a number of central concepts and key issues in public health ethics. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and they seek to both introduce and discuss critically at least some of the relevant literature related to their topic or theme. However, this book is not merely a textbook, as each chapter also seeks to advance (or in some cases re-frame) academic debate and practical reflection upon these topics in public health. This book will be of interest to everyone working in public health and related fields, policy makers, as well as students in philosophy, ethics, public health ethics, medicine, public health and critical social science.
