| Abstract: | Everyone has observed people invoking fairness arguments in defense of their opinions or actions, and it is not uncommon for such arguments to be wielded on both sides of an issue about which views conflict. For example, during a televised debate Representative Charles B. Rangel said, "I think ÄAffirmative ActionÅ has to involve a search for fairness", whereas commentator Avi Nelson opined that "you promote more unfairness than fairness when you depart from the basic criterion, which is that individuals should be treated as individuals". |
