{"product_id":"the-right-to-be-loved","title":"The Right to Be Loved","description":"\u003cp\u003eS. 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\n\u003cbr\u003econditions 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\n\u003cbr\u003ethe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46060629885166,"sku":"9780190234836","price":150.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190234836.jpg?v=1736516253","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/the-right-to-be-loved","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
