A work of applied social and political philosophy which relates the philosophical analysis to various forms of community work theory and practice. It takes account of some liberal criticisms of the community ideal, and seeks to re-state a theory of community compatible with a liberal ideology.
Examines concepts including the individually orientated values of self-direction and acceptance, and those of role, adjustment and integration, which express the individual's relation to society. This book's concern is to see whether a coherent theory of the relationship between individual and society can be given in terms of these concepts.
Bringing the insights of analytical Political Philosophy to bear on the issues of social welfare and welfare provision, the authors discuss such issues as the basis of the sense of stigma involved in the receipt of welfare benefits, the right of welfare and the concepts of 'community'.
