Reviews

This is a good and useful book. It sketches a reasonable and systematic alternative to various contemporary accounts of justice and provides trenchant criticisms of its competitors. * Joseph Mendola, Ethics *


Exact and thorough...of genuine service to anyone interested in defining justice in terms of desert. Far more writing in political philosophy should attempt the level of argumentative clarity found here. Feldman does fairly reasonably expose different positions. For philosophers who like 'argumentation' this will be grist to their mill. -- <em>Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews</em>
