Zusammenfassung:In one important tradition of political and ethical thought, principles of justice are viewed as if they arose from a contract among individuals, drawn up in some presocial 'state of nature'. David Gauthier's Morals by Agreement is a distinguished contribution to this tradition, which seeks to show that rational individuals would accept certain moral constraints on their choices.
