This collection brings together essays which reflect on the detailed arguments of What We Owe To Each Other. They comment critically on both Scanlon's contractualism and on his revised understandings of motivation and morality. The essays illustrate the uses of Scanlon's contractualism by applying it to moral and political problems. In so doing, they provide an assessment of the ability of Scanlon's contractualism to respond to other forms of ethical theory. The central questions addressed are: 'What is the best interpretation of the theory advanced in What We Owe To Each Other?', 'How does the theory, so interpreted, stand up to criticism?', and 'How does contractualism handle certain difficult problems in politics and ethics?'. Written by a group of distinguished moral and political philosophers, the resulting volume makes an important and original contribution to the literature on Scanlon, contractualism, and contemporary moral and political philosophy.
