On the Moral Right to Get High
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-87820-6 (ISBN)
Is getting high immoral? In this book, Rob Lovering defends the claim that it is not. More specifically, he argues that recreational drug use (of which getting high is a token) is neither intrinsically, nor generally extrinsically, immoral. In other words, he contends that recreational drug use is neither immoral in and of itself nor generally immoral due to an immoral-making factor with which it may be contingently linked [e.g., harm]. Lovering does so by offering two arguments for recreational drug use s ultima facie (all things considered) moral permissibility and critiquing twenty-four arguments for its immorality.
Meant to be a companion to Lovering's A Moral Defense of Recreational Drug Use (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015), which was written for a general audience, this book is written for an academic specifically, philosophical audience and explores recreational drug use in a deeper, more philosophically and empirically rigorous way.
Rob Lovering is Professor of Philosophy at City University of New York, USA. His books include God and Evidence: Problems for Theistic Philosophers (2013), A Moral Defense of Recreational Drug Use (2015), A Moral Defense of Prostitution (2021), and The Palgrave Handbook of Philosophy and Psychoactive Drug Use (2024).
