Strokes of Luck

A Study in Moral and Political Philosophy

Beschreibung

Gerald Lang examines the role of luck in moral and political philosophy. He argues that luck plays a positive role in determining the moral character of acts and also of agents. In political questions of justice, he argues against attempts to neutralize luck, and in favour of an alternative approach that emphasizes fairness.
