We all have beliefs, even strong convictions, about what is just and
fair in our social arrangements. How should these beliefs and the
theories of justice that incorporate them guide our thinking about
practical matters of justice? This wide-ranging collection of essays
by one of the foremost medical ethicists in the USA explores the claim
that justification in ethics, whether of matters of theory or
practice, involves achieving coherence between our moral and non-moral
beliefs. Amongst the practical issues addressed in the volume are the
design of health-care institutions, the distribution of goods between
the old and the young, and fairness in hiring and firing. In combining
ethical theory and practical ethics this volume will prove especially
valuable to philosophers concerned with ethics and applied ethics,
political theorists, bioethicists, and others involved in the study of
public policy.
