註釋"Strokes of Luck offers a large-scale treatment of the role of luck in our judgements about blameworthiness and responsibility, in moral philosophy, and in principles of distributive justice, in political philosophy. It takes an 'anti-anti-luckist' stance on these matters, and is opposed to the influential 'anti-luckist' views which hold that judgements of blameworthiness, or distributive relations, should be adjusted to annul or neutralize differential luck. It provides a new reading of Bernard Williams's famous essay 'Moral Luck' which emphasizes the dissimilarity of Williams's aims from the aims of Thomas Nagel and his intellectual descendants. It contends that luck egalitarianism is a structurally flawed programme, and it argues for a revised understanding of John Rawls's justice as fairness that interprets Rawls's hostility to factors that are 'arbitrary from a moral point of view' in a novel way stationed more closely to his contractarian apparatus, and less closely to luck egalitarian concerns"--Publisher's description
