Carr Craig L.: On Fairness

This title was first published in 2000:  What does it mean to "be fair"? Why should it matter, or why should one bother, to play fairly? Presenting a systematic analysis of the concept of fairness as a moral notion, this book offers answers to these and related questions.'In this well written book Craig Carr analyses the moral concept of fairness. After criticizing several alternative accounts, he defends the view that fairness is a kind of fidelity to the social practices in which one is a participant.' The Philosophical Quarterly
