Abstract Details

2024, MA, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Philosophy.
In this thesis, I evaluate substance abuse and the treatment of addicted persons through a lens of care ethics. The current policies in place focus on criminalization, which is largely ineffective at preventing and lowering rates of substance abuse. I use the relational definition of autonomy put forward by Onora O’Neill to analyze how addiction affects autonomy. I appeal to Stephanie Collins' four key claims of care ethics as the best ethical model to treat addiction using harm reduction policies.
