Justice and Constructivism
Albert Weale's Democratic Justice and the Social Contract is an important book. It offers an innovative and original (proceduralist) account of justice. In so doing, it places what Brian Barry called ‘the empirical method’ at the centre of normative political philosophy's attempts to generate determinate answers to moral questions. This article-written from the perspective of someone sympathetic to both the commitment to mutual advantage and the …
Criminal Law and Cultural Diversity
What place, if any, ought cultural considerations have when we blame and punish in the criminal law? Bringing together political and legal theorists, this text offers original and diverse discussions that go to the heart of both legal and political debates about multiculturalism, human agency, and responsibility
Introduction
This introduction considers recent work in toleration; the nature and definition of toleration; and the relationship between toleration and broader questions of political philosophy. The Trustees of the C. & J. B. Morrell Trust have sponsored research on toleration at York for more than 30 years. The editors are very grateful to them for their generosity and support through all that time. They would also like to thank Sue Mendus whose commitment …

The Illusions of Egalitarianism
The Illusions of Egalitarianism. By John Kekes. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2003. 228p. $29.95. According to John Kekes, contemporary Anglo-American political theory is dominated by egalitarian writers to the extent that all other voices are either drowned out or systematically excluded. Egalitarians “write books about each other's books, and mostly articles about each other's articles” (p. 188), and when confronted by those who disagre…
The culture of control
David Garland's The Culture of Control (2001) is rightly regarded as making a significant contribution not only in the field of criminology, but also to social theory and to ‘the history of the pre
Responsibility and choice
In this essay I agrue that contemporary Anglo-American liberal egalitarianism has at its heart a tension: the goal is to find principles of justice that are fair in respecting the distinction between choice and chance and that do not invoke controversial metaphysical arguments. This is a tension because distinguishing between choice and chance itself requires invoking controversial metaphysical arguments. I proceed by offering, and then examining…

Responsibility, Luck, and the ‘Equality of what?’ Debate
Ronald Dworkin's recently published book, Sovereign Virtue (hereafter SV), appeals to arguments that are popular within, and ideas that are fundamental to, liberal egalitarianism. These arguments and ideas need to be distinguished and unpacked. The purpose of this paper is partly to do this and to cast doubt on the adequacy of various moves made by Dworkin. In addition, and more importantly I argue that the analysis of the ‘equality of what?’ deb…
What's ‘Wrong’ in Contractualism
Brian Barry's Justice as Impartiality is an important book. One of its contributions to the discipline is a characteristically clear presentation of what follows if one accepts a commitment to equality, and the reasonableness of continuing and profound disagreements about the nature of the good life (the reasonableness of pluralism). I take the argument of Justice as Impartiality to be an important next step in the attempt to give an account of t…
