This seminar considers the role of luck in moral and political theory and the law. Possible topics include: the role of luck in legal liability and punishment (strict liability, attempts, risk regulation versus harm regulation), the possibility that rightness of conduct or worth of character might depend on luck, whether the point of egalitarianism is to correct for the impact of luck on fate, and whether there is anything left to the person when we abstract from the impact of luck on life. Readings are from Rawls, Williams, Nussbaum, Dworkin, Roemer, GA Cohen, Nagel, HLA Hart, and Waldron, among others.
