The essays reflect a mix of concern with the practical and the philosophical aspects of taking responsibility for children, addressing such topics as parental obligations, the rights and entitlements of children, the responsibility of the state, the role and nature of public education in a liberal society, the best ways to ensure adequate child protection, the licensing of parents, childrenтАЩs religious education, and childrenтАЩs health. Taking Responsibility for Children will be of interest to philosophers, advocates for childrenтАЩs interests, and those interested in public policy, especially as it relates to children and families.
