Description
Justice, Luck, and Knowledge explores two areas of debate that have gained significant attention in recent years: moral responsibility and distributive justice. Susan L. Hurley brings these concepts together to examine how our understanding of responsibility affects the way we approach issues of fairness and equality.
The author argues that a commonly accepted approach to distributive justice, which aims to respect differences between positions for which people are responsible while neutralizing luck-based differences, is flawed. Instead, Hurley proposes a new, bias-neutralizing approach that places responsibility in less problematic roles, such as influencing incentive-seeking behavior and well-being.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between responsibility, justice, and luck, making it an interesting read for those looking to understand these fundamental concepts.
