Most philosophical analyses of paternalism agree in finding paternalism strongly objectionable, while having given up the search for a utilitarian argument against it. The concept of moral autonomy is often invoked as a basis of objecting to paternalism, but no conclusive demonstration of this has been presented. Attempts to show that moral autonomy provides a basis for limiting paternalism have failed. Various formulations of the autonomy principle are reviewed & shown not to imply rejection of paternalism. Further, paternalism does not necessarily violate the personal dignity implied by moral autonomy. While these arguments do not equal a defense of paternalism, they do suggest a need to deal with particular cases rather than with seeking a general argument for or against paternalism. W. H. Stoddard.

The concept of paternalism, normally applied to interference with liberty of action for the good of the person interfered with, should be extended to withholding information or lying with the same intent. Surveys & statements of individual physicians indicate that this form of paternalism is widespread in medical practice. Arguments for this practice appeal either to the primary duty to prevent harm, to an implied contract with the patient for the prevention of such harm, or to the patient's incapacity to understand the situation. These arguments confuse technological & moral competence, assuming that the superior knowledge of physicians, in medical matters amounts to superior ability to solve moral problems arising in medical practice. W. H. Stoddard.

Abstract
Many people feel that respecting a person's autonomy is not sufficiently important to obligate us to stay out of their affairs in all cases; but the ground for interference may often turn out to be a hunch that the agent cannot really be competent, or cannot really know what her decision implies; for if she were both of these things, surely she would not make such a foolish decision. This paper suggests a justification of paternalism that does not rely on such appeals. I argue that in cases where an agent will undergo a significant alteration in their evaluative outlook – 'evaluative shift' – three central, persuasive objections to paternalism lose their force, and offer a prima facie case for paternalism in some of these cases. I then suggest that we can extend this argument to some cases where evaluative alteration is not predictable, but where the risk and harm are both significant. In such cases, paternalism may be justified.

In this article we examine Classical Confucian political thinking through the lens of paternalism. We situate Confucianism amid contemporary models of paternalism to show that Confucianism can be understood as a soft form of paternalism regarding its method. Confucianism stresses cultivation of the people by moral exemplars to guide the people to act in ways that are in their own best interests. This is in contrast to use of law and punishment as a deterrent of unwanted behaviours of the people. We demonstrate that Confucian paternalism does not advocate for a static top-down structure of governance that is incapable of reform, underscoring its non-authoritarian ideal. We do this by stressing the vital upward momentum constituted in general cultivation of the wider population utilizing li (rituals). The picture that emerges from an examination of Confucian political thought through the lens of paternalism is what we name "exemplary paternalism."

"Is it allowable for your government, or anyone else, to influence or coerce you 'for your own sake'? This is a question about paternalism, or interference with a person's liberty or autonomy with the intention of promoting their good or averting harm, which has created considerable controversy at least since John Stuart Mill's On Liberty. Mill famously decried paternalism of any kind, whether carried out by private individuals or the state. In this volume of new essays, leading moral, political and legal philosophers address how to define paternalism, its justification, and the implications for public policy, professional ethics and criminal law. So-called 'libertarian' or non-coercive paternalism receives considerable attention. The discussion addresses the nature of freedom and autonomy and the relation of individuals to law, policy and the state. The volume will interest a wide range of readers in political philosophy, public policy and the philosophy of law"--
