15 1. A summary of liberty and autonomy Liberty/Freedom Such freedom is thus always of something (an agent or agents), from something, to do, not do, become, or not become something; it is a triadic rela?on. [MacCallum, 1967, p.314] 15
16 1. A summary of liberty and autonomy Autonomy autonomy is conceived of as a second order capacity of persons to reflect cri?cally upon their first- order preferences, desires, wishes, and so forth and the capacity to accept or amempt to change these in light of higher- order preferences and values. [Dworkin, 1988, p.20] 16
17 Summary 1. Summary of liberty and autonomy 2. Paternalism 3. Does paternalism violate liberty or autonomy? 4. Hard and so` paternalism 5. Is paternalism ever jus?fied? 17
18 2. Paternalism Paternalism is the interference of a state or an individual with another person, against their will, and defended or motivated [solely?] by a claim that the person interfered with will be better off or protected from harm. [SEP] 18
19 2. Paternalism Three necessary and jointly sufficient conditions: 1) a violation of autonomy (or freedom?) 2) a lack of consent 3) [solely?] for the benefit of the individual concerned 19
20 2. Paternalism Possible examples: Health warnings on cigarettes Opt-out pension schemes Drunk driving laws Seatbelt laws 20
21 Summary 1. Summary of liberty and autonomy 2. Paternalism 3. Does paternalism violate liberty or autonomy? 4. Hard and so` paternalism 5. Is paternalism ever jus?fied? 21
22 3. Does paternalism violate liberty or Dworkin (1988) p.123 autonomy? There must be a viola?on of a person s autonomy (which I conceive as a dis?nct no?on from that of liberty) for one to treat another paternalis?cally. There must be a usurpa?on of decision making, either by preven?ng people from doing what they decided or by interfering with the way in which they arrive at decisions 22
23 3. Does paternalism violate liberty or Dworkin (1988) p.123 autonomy? What we must ascertain in each case [of possible paternalism] is whether the act in ques?on cons?tutes an amempt to subs?tute one person s judgment for another s, to promote the lamer s benefit. That is why paternalism violates autonomy. Autonomy is central no?ons of moral equality 23
24 3. Does paternalism violate liberty or autonomy? There can be liberty without autonomy and autonomy without liberty Free Not free Autonomous E.g. Going to Cambridge E.g. Odysseus (global view) Not autonomous E.g. Unlocked cell E.g. Locked in your room and told the trains are not running Paternalism is necessarily a viola?on of autonomy. Paternalism may or may not be a viola?on of liberty/ freedom. 24
25 Summary 1. Summary of liberty and autonomy 2. Paternalism 3. Does paternalism violate liberty or autonomy? 4. Hard and so` paternalism 5. Is paternalism ever jus?fied? 25
26 4. Hard and so` paternalism Soft paternalism In cases where we have good reason to believe that someone is not sufficiently capable or competent then it is sometimes permissible to interfere against their will for the benefit of that person. 26
27 4. Hard and so` paternalism Examples of deficiencies that might warrant paternalism: Lack of relevant knowledge Lack of control e.g. emotional distress, grief Lack of rationality Undue influence 27
28 4. Hard and so` paternalism Hard paternalism It is sometimes permissible to interfere with someone against their will for the benefit of that person [whether or not they are deemed sufficiently capable or competent]. 28
29 4. Hard and so` paternalism Both Hard and So` paternalism disregard the autonomy of agents. Hard paternalism regards an agent s decisions as irrelevant. So` paternalism assumes agents lack autonomy because they lack the capacity for self reflec?on. In some cases, paternalis?c interven?ons can enhance (global) autonomy e.g. preven?ng voluntary slavery But paternalis?c interven?ons run the risk of the paradox of posi?ve freedom e.g. cycle helmets 29
30 Summary 1. Summary of liberty and autonomy 2. Paternalism 3. Does paternalism violate liberty or autonomy? 4. Hard and so` paternalism 5. Is paternalism ever jus?fied? 30
31 5. Is paternalism ever jus?fied? Three problems for so` paternalism (Dworkin) 1. Safety cases e.g. seatbelt laws. Free- riding off the medical care of others. Minor inconvenience to person outweighs the gain i.e. really hard paternalis?c cases 2. Collec?ve decisions e.g. fluoride in the water Major majority interest outweighs minority inconvenience (not paternalis?c) 3. Slavery cases Nothing to stop such cases. But refusing to enforce contracts does not amount to a viola?on of liberty. Preven?ng slavery enhances (long term) autonomy. But what about those who want to exercise their autonomy in this way (e.g. monks)? Safety most people don t want to be slaves. Therefore err on the side of cau?on by banning the prac?ce. 31
