Riassunto

Groups in Conflict addresses the conflict and tensions that exist between impartiality and partiality in political philosophy, ordinary thought, and practice by setting theoretical arguments in the context of contemporary issues such as immigration and public policy. Donald Franklin asserts that two camps of ethicists—those concerned with political philosophy and those concerned with personal morality—have been ignoring the implications of inconsistency in their mutual approaches. Far more than just exposing these irreconcilable differences, Franklin also proposes the modifications necessary to approach the nature of human equality. 

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Donald Franklin takes up the challenge of trying to work out a moral picture that has room for the value of both equality and community. While admitting that no algorithm will solve the problem for us, Franklin nevertheless provides an approach to balancing the two concerns. This is a plausible and novel thesis, setting out both the justification of, and the limits to, partiality. It is a significant, striking and refreshing contribution to the developing debate about the possible justification of partiality. --Jonathan Wolff, Professor and Head of Department, University College London
