The tendency to reciprocate - to return good for good and evil for
evil - is a potent force in human life, and the concept of
reciprocity is closely connected to fundamental notions of
'justice', 'obligation' or 'duty', 'gratitude' and 'equality'. In
Reciprocity, first published in 1986, Lawrence Becker presents a
sustained argument about reciprocity, beginning with the strategy
for developing a moral theory of the virtues. He considers the
concept of reciprocity in detail, contending that it is a basic
virtue that provides the basis for parental authority, obligations
to future generations, and obedience to law. Throughout the first
two parts of the book, Becker intersperses short pieces of his own
narrative fiction to enrich reflection on the philosophical
arguments. The final part is devoted to extensive bibliographical
essays, ranging over anthropology, psychology, political theory and
law, as well as the relevant ethics and political philosophy.
