Abstract: | The main body of this paper assesses a leading recent theory of fairness, a theory put forward by John Broome. I discuss Broome's
theory partly because of its prominence and partly because I think it points us in the right direction, even if it takes some
missteps. In the course of discussing Broome's theory, I aim to cast light on the relation of fairness to consistency, equality,
impartiality, desert, rights, and agreements. Indeed, before I start assessing Broome's theory, I discuss two very popular
conceptions of fairness that contrast with his. One of these very popular conceptions identifies fairness with the equal and
impartial application of rules. The other identifies fairness with all-things-considered moral rightness. |
