Description

Exploitation: What It Is and Why It's Wrong locates what it is we recognize as bad when we judge a situation to be exploitative. This is not merely a matter of surveying ordinary moral judgments―author Ruth Sample identifies what's wrong with exploitation in the ethically thick sense. In so doing, she argues that some cases that have been regarded as exploitative are not genuinely so, and that some exploitative situations are not generally seen as such. Sample's own account locates exploitation in those interactions that we might call degrading, even when those interactions are voluntary or worsen one's own position. While exploitation is morally bad, because of the plurality of values in our moral universe, it does not follow that exploitative situations should be prohibited by law or sanctioned by public opinion.Exploitation is ideal for courses in social and political philosophy, public policy, or political science. Review Sample's book is on the whole a fine contribution to an important debate in its systematic and open-minded treatment of its subject. It is capable of forcing anyone who reads it to rethink his established notions about what exploitation involves and what makes it wrong.--Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy Written in a clear and concise style, will appeal primarily to ethicists and perhaps other faculty. Sample's hypothetical examples are interesting and, to this reviewer's intuition, her conclusions are right. Recommended.--CHOICE This book should be read by scholars and students of ethics and political philosophy, but also by policy makers, CEOs, marriage counselors, and anyone positioned to alter the terms of social cooperation--on a large or small scale.--Laurie Shrage, California State Polytechnic University I would recommend this book to anyone interested in exploitation as a moral concept, as well as to those who have abandoned the concept of exploitation as fundmentally confused or unhelpful. After reading this book, the latter group may need to change their minds.--Samantha Brennan, University of Western Ontario Sample presents a powerful and original account of exploitation that distinguishes exploitation from other moral faults and explains precisely why it is morally objectionable.--Jon Mandle, SUNY-Albany About the Author Ruth J. Sample is associate professor of philosophy at the University of New Hampshire.
