On Fairness

Craig L. Carr

4.9/5 (9967 ratings)

Description:What does it mean to "be fair"? Why should it matter, or why should one bother, to play fairly? Presenting a systematic analysis of the concept of fairness as a moral notion, this book offers answers to these and related questions. Critically examining and rejecting several familiar accounts of fairness - fairness as equality of treatment, as not taking advantage of another, as adherence to rule, and as respect for others - the author proposes an alternative account of fairness as fidelity to social practice. Drawing on examples from a variety of social practices, ranging from the requirement to do one's fair share to the fairness of lotteries and bargaining, this book outlines a new moral theory of fairness and offers insight into the various roles fairness considerations play in our lives and their limitations. Reflecting on the place of fairness and fairmindedness in moral, social, and political thought, this book will be of interest to moral, social and political philosophers as well as those in related areas such as political science and sociology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
