Justice as Reciprocity and Future Generations
Central to accounts of justice as reciprocity is the idea of social cooperation based on mutual exchange and mutual benefit coupled with a motive to return benefits because of benefits received. Many claim such views of justice are problematic because they do not offer a satisfactory account of intergenerational justice. Of course, those who defend theories of justice as reciprocity need not think that all matters of justice have to do with recip…

At this time, we cannot add information about unpublished articles in this handbook, however the table of contents will continue to grow as additional articles pass through the review process and are added to the site. Please note that the online publication date for this handbook is the date that the first article in the title w…
Pregnancy, Caregiving, and a Supposed Obligation to Gestate
Many people – including many feminists – believe both of the following: (i) abortion is morally permissible regardless of the moral status of the fetus (at least for most of a pregnancy) and (ii) members of society have a shared, moral obligation to provide care for dependents. Yet it has been argued that the shared, moral obligation of members of society to care for dependents entails that women may be morally obligated to gestate unwanted fetus…
Against Convergence Liberalism: A Feminist Critique
Convergence liberalism has emerged as a prominent interpretation of public reason liberalism. Yet, while its main rival in the public reason literature—the Rawlsian consensus account of public reason—has faced serious scrutiny regarding its ability to secure equal citizenship for all members of society, especially for members of historically subordinated groups, convergence liberalism has not. With this article, we hope to start a discussion abou…
On Equal Citizenship and Public Reason: Reply to Critics
In writing Equal Citizenship and Public Reason , we aimed to show that political liberalism is a feminist liberalism. To that end, we develop and defend a particular understanding of the commitments of political liberalism. Then, we argue that certain laws and policies are needed to protect and secure the interests of persons as free and equal citizens. We focus on the laws and policies that we think are necessary for gender justice. In particula…
Public Reason and Prostitution
This chapter critically engages with the “sex work” approach to prostitution and argues that treating “sex work” like any other form of work is neither possible nor compatible with valuing the freedom and equality of women as citizens. Liberals often claim, erroneously, that liberalism’s commitment to a kind of neutrality among competing conceptions of the good life and its commitment to antipaternalism requires either decriminalization or legali…
Is a Feminist Political Liberalism Possible?
This chapter makes the case that political liberalism is a feminist liberalism. It is argued that political liberalism’s ideas of reciprocity and equal citizenship limit reasonable political conceptions of justice to only those that include principles that yield substantive equality for all, including women (and other marginalized groups). To this end, it is claimed that the criterion of reciprocity calls for (1) the eradication of social conditi…
Equal Citizenship and Public Reason: A Feminist Political Liberalism
This book is a defense of political liberalism as a feminist liberalism. The first half of the book develops and defends a novel interpretation of political liberalism. It is argued that political liberals should accept a restrictive account of public reason and that political liberals’ account of public justification is superior to the leading alternative, the convergence account of public justification. In the second half of the book, it is arg…
Two Conceptions of Justice as Reciprocity
Is a Feminist Political Liberalism Possible
Is a feminist political liberalism possible? Political liberalism’s regard for a wide range of comprehensive doctrines as reasonable makes some feminists skeptical of its ability to address sex inequality. Indeed, some feminists claim that political liberalism maintains its position as a political liberalism at the expense of securing substantive equality for women. We claim that political liberalism’s core commitments actually restrict all reaso…
Political Liberalism, Marriage and the Family
Disability and Justice
Historically, philosophers have had little to say about justice and disability. However, in recent years and in response to disability rights movements, philosophers have started to consider the claims to justice of persons with mental and physical impairments. Importantly, some have charged that without extensive revision, social contract accounts of justice - which enjoy immense popularity among political philosophers - cannot address the needs…
Justice for the Disabled: A Contractualist Approach
An Inclusive Contractualism: Obligations to the Mentally Disabled
This chapter deals with social justice, with an emphasis on a contractualist account of justice that aims to explain and justify what society owes people with significant cognitive disabilities. A contractualist sees society as a system of cooperative acts where membership depends upon one's ability to participate. Such s view leaves people with cognitive disabilities as being regarded not full members of society since they are unable to make the…
