Through careful consideration of the mutually plausible yet
conflicting arguments on both sides of the issue, Alan Goldman
attempts to derive a morally consistent position on the justice (or
injustice) of reverse discrimination. From a philosophical
framework that appeals to a contractual model of ethics, he
develops principles of rights, compensation, and equal opportunity.
He then applies these principles to the issue at hand, bringing his
conclusions to bear on an evaluation of Affirmative Action programs
as they tend to work in practice. Originally published in 1979. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
