We all know, or think we know, what it means to say that something
is 'reasonable' or 'fair', but what exactly are these concepts and
how have they evolved and changed over the course of history? In
this book, Christopher McMahon explores reasonableness, fairness,
and justice as central concepts of the morality of reciprocal
concern. He argues that the basis of this morality evolves as
history unfolds, so that forms of interaction that might have been
morally acceptable in the past are judged unacceptable today. The
first part of his study examines the notions of reasonableness and
fairness as they are employed in ordinary practical thought, and
the second part develops a constructivist theory to explain why and
how this part of morality can undergo historical development
without arriving at any final form. His book will interest scholars
of ethics, political theory, and the history of ideas.
