Reviews

For twenty years, Peter Vanderschraaf has been writing important papers about conventions. His new book, Strategic Justice, synthesises this body of work and displays his ability to write both as a scholarly philosopher and as a rigorous game theorist. * Robert Sugden, Revue des livres * Vanderschraaf sets out to develop an account of justice-as-convention, which is a form of justice-as-mutual-advantage. He certainly achieves this: the book provides a coherent and admirable account of why it is that rational agents might find it in their interest to share resources in an egalitarian fashion ... [this] is an important and impressive contribution to the literature on justice. * Lina Eriksson, Economics & Philosophy *
