This collection critically engages with a number of recurrent
themes from the work of G.A. Cohen, and most especially with
arguments and positions advanced in his Rescuing Justice and
Equality.
- A critical discussion of the work of the contemporary political theorist G.A. Cohen, an egalitarian and a critic of John Rawls
- Offers a critical perspective on his significant work on equality and constructivism, including his eagerly anticipated new book Rescuing Justice and Equality
- The contributors to this volume are noted for their own work on these topics
- Challenges Cohen’s view of the centrality of equality to justice, of the scope for free choice of occupation and economic incentives, as well as his view that fundamental principles of justice are insensitive to facts
