Dealing with a diverse set of problems in practical and theoretical ethics, these essays on legal philosophy include discussions of "wrongful life" suits in the law of torts, or whether there is any sense in the remark that a person is so badly off that he would be better off not existing at all; the morality of abortion; educational options; free expression; civil disobedience; and the duty of easy resource in criminal law. The author gives a three-part defence of moral rights in the abstract, a discussion of voluntary euthanasia, and an inquiry into arguments of various kinds for not granting legal rights in enforcement of a person's acknowledged moral rights. The collection concludes with two essays dealing with concepts used in appraising the whole of a person's life: absurdity and self-fulfillment, and their interplay. Feinberg brings to bear on each of these concerns a coherent view on morality and the philosophy of law. Three of the essays have never been published before. Of the remaining 11, three are being published almost simultaneously with the book, and most of the rest are not easily accessible at this time. "Freedom and Fulfillment" is an ideal source for specialists seeking to understand Feinberg's overall position.
