Reclaiming the History of Ethics
The essays in this volume offer an approach to the history of moral and political philosophy that takes its inspiration from John Rawls. All the contributors are philosophers who have studied with Rawls and they offer this collection in his honour. The distinctive feature of this approach is to address substantive normative questions in moral and political philosophy through an analysis of the texts and theories of major figures in the history of…
The Emergence of Norms
Ullmann-Margalit's main thesis is that certain familiar types of normsfor example, of honor, of driving, and of private property -can be rationally reconstructed as solutions that emerge from three problems in game theory:(1) Prisoner's Dilemma-type situations; (2) Coordination situations; and (3) Inequality (or partiality) situations respectively.I must admit at the outset that I am not sure of having represented her main thesis accurately: In s…

Personal Continuity and Instrumental Rationality in Rawls’ Theory of Justice
I want to examine the implications of a metaphysical thesis which is presupposed in various objections to Rawls' theory of justice. 1 Although their criticisms differ in many respects, they concur in employing what I shall refer to as the continuity thesis. This consists of the following claims conjointly
Two conceptions of the self
A Distinction without a Difference
IThe first of the two ways in which the consequentialist-deontological distinction can be used is what we may call the value-theoretic use.Here the distinction is formulated in such a way as to distinguish between two approaches to the construction of a moral theory (thus I will speak of "valuetheoretic uses," "value-theoretic senses," as well as "value theories" simpliciter, accordingly as the context dictates).On this view, a consequentialist t…
