{"product_id":"equality-and-partiality-9780195069679","title":"Equality and Partiality","description":"\u003cp\u003eDerived from Thomas Nagels Locke Lectures  Equality and Partiality proposes a nonutopian account of political legitimacy  based on the need to accommodate both personal and impersonal motives in any credible moral theory  and therefore in any political theory with a moral foundation. Within each individual  Nagel believes  there is a division between two standpoints  the personal and the impersonal. Without the impersonal standpoint  there would be no morality  only the clash  compromise  and occasional convergence of individual perspectives. It is because a human being does not occupy only his own point of view that each of us is susceptible to the claims of others through private and public morality. Political systems  to be legitimate  must achieve an integration of these two standpoints within the individual. These ideas are applied to specific problems such as social and economic inequality  toleration  international justice  and the public support of culture. Nagel points to the problem of balancing equality and partiality as the most important issue with which political theorists are now faced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647973515317,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195069676","price":145.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195069679.jpg?v=1781700254","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/equality-and-partiality-9780195069679","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
