C. Farrelly

Justice, Democracy and Reasonable Agreement (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Farrelly argues against the principled paradigm of ideal theory and champions instead a virtue-oriented theory of justice entitled 'civic liberalism'. He critically assesses the main contemporary theories of justice and tackles a number of applied topics, ranging from constitutional design and free speech to welfare reform and economic incentives.
