Chapter on antipaternalism

A volume edited by Thomas Schramme on New Perspectives on Paternalism and Health Care has been published by Springer in the series  Library of Ethics and Applied Philosophy. I contribute a chapter titled Antipaternalism as a Filter on Reasons (preprint), where I develop my view of what is the most plausible version of antipaternalism as an independent moral doctrine (which is not a doctrine I subscribe to).

Article on nudging etc.
