{"product_id":"9780190493387","title":"The Right To Be Loved","description":"S. Matthew Liao argues here that children have a right to be loved.  To do so he investigates questions such as whether children are rightholders; what grounds a child's right to beloved; whether love is an appropriate object of a right; and other philosophical and practical issues. His proposal is that all human beings have rights to the fundamental conditions for pursuing a good life; therefore, as human beings, children have human rights to the fundamental conditions for pursuing a good life. Since being loved is one of those fundamental conditions, children thus have a right to be loved.  Liao shows that this claim need not be merely empty rhetoric, and that the arguments for this right can hang together as a coherent whole.  This is the first book to make a sustained philosophical case for the right of children to be loved. It makes a unique contribution to the fast-growing literature on family ethics, in particular, on children's rights and parental rights and responsibilities, and to the emerging field of the philosophy of human rights.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120069296368,"sku":"9780190493387","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780190493387_p0.jpg?v=1763660333","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780190493387","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
