Features: This book is based on the lecture notes of the Langer Lectures I delivered at the University of California, Berkeley, from April 4 to 6, 1986. I sincerely thank the Economics, Philosophy, and Political Science Departments of the university for inviting me to give these lectures. During my visit to Berkeley, I was warmly hosted, and the vibrant academic atmosphere of the campus left a very deep impression on me. In the process of preparing this book, I discussed with Jack Letiche, Martha Nussbaum, Derek Parfit, and Bernard Williams. Elma Adelman, George Akerlof, Pranab Bardhan, Donald Davidson, John Harsanyi, Joslin Kincaid, Samuel Scheffler, and Benjamin Ward provided comments on some parts of the book. There were also some lively discussions during the lectures, which greatly helped in the preparation of this book. Lastly, I would like to thank Carol Weiss for quickly typesetting my manuscript and Emma Darlès for her excellent editorial work.
