Recenzii
Recommended. Graduate students and faculty.
Mason's book shows how good applied philosophy can be. It raises deep theoretical issues (not just about the moral significance of discrimination but about the nature of wrongness in general and of agency) while committing to practical implications that can guide moral decision-making and policy reforms. Mason's approach highlights the fruitfulness of systematically considering the variety of complaints, interests, and reasons at play in a moral phenomenon while resisting the temptation to reduce these to a single dimension of importance.
