Kagan, Shelly. The Geometry of Desert
Other things being equal, people ought to get what they deserve. If there is such a thing as common sense, this claim is part of it. But life is complicated, and this claim does not get us very far. Suppose I could give A what he deserves or give B what she deserves, but not both; what should I do?...

| description | Other things being equal, people ought to get what they deserve. If there is such a thing as common sense, this claim is part of it. But life is complicated, and this claim does not get us very far. Suppose I could give A what he deserves or give B what she deserves, but not both; what should I do? For Shelly Kagan this question lies on the known edge of a huge expanse of unexplored philosophical terrain. The Geometry of Desert is Kagan’s report on what he found there. |
