The Centre-Left and New Right Divide? Political Philosophy and Aspects of UK Social Policy in the Era of the Welfare State

Research output: Book/Report › Book › peer-review

Abstract

First published in 1998, and part of the Routledge Revival series, this volume offers some solutions to the inherent difficulties with moving from philosophical generalities to specific policies, by exploring how a bridge might be built between political philosophy and social policy analysis. In light of these findings, Steven R. Smith evaluates the relationship between the Centre-Left and the New Right, focusing on the way in which concepts of individual autonomy and equality are used by political philosophers and social policy makers. Smith explores post-1945 training, education, social security and community care policy within the United Kingdom.
