It helps bridge the gap between theoretical and practical autonomy in these fields, which have long been overshadowed by other professional groups. The book scrutinises the often-misunderstood notion of autonomy, which is frequently equated with mere independence—an equation that can paradoxically undermine, rather than improve, care quality. Additionally, it critiques the prevailing lack of a specific philosophical framework for practice. Existing literature typically approaches professional autonomy through a liberal philosophy lens or loosely assigns moral agency to groups, leading to a view of autonomous professions as analogous to autonomous individuals. By presenting a critical overview of the main schools of thought on autonomy—emphasising group autonomy and the specific challenges faced by caring professions—this book aims to fill a significant gap. It includes case studies to ground its theoretical insights in practical examples from real-world scenarios, helping the caring professions identify both autonomy issues and opportunities for enhancing autonomous practice. 0aEthics. 0aMedical Ethics. 0aNursing ethics. 0aMedical care. 0aSocial service. 0aBusiness ethics.14aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.24aMedical Ethics.24aNursing Ethics.24aHealth Care.24aSocial Care.24aBusiness Ethics.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303175929108iPrinted edition:z9783031759314 0aSpringerBriefs in Ethics,x2211-811X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-75930-7
