It is suggested that parents are morally obliged to promote their child’s wellbeing, and that the care they owe to their children counts as a moral duty. But it is also argued that there is no moral obligation to supply the \u003cem\u003ebest possible care\u003c\/em\u003e. A duty to provide best care would limit parents’ own rights to an unreasonable extent. It is recognized that it is tempting to take extreme measures to promote all the interests of a child, to embrace their needs as reflected in the right to best care - such actions arise from concern and love for the child. But the case is made that certain expectations are unreasonable, such as parents staying together, and presumably being unhappy, so that a child will be more comfortable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe book’s final chapter considers the question of state enforcement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eParents, the State, and the Care Rights of Children \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eis essential reading for all scholars and advanced students of jurisprudence, the philosophy of law and social philosophy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-10-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032094377\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-09438-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 89\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44523500863628,"sku":"9783032094377","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032094377.jpg?v=1776875130","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032094377","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
