Gerald Lang examines the role of luck in moral and political philosophy. He argues that luck plays a positive role in determining the moral character of acts and also of agents. In political questions of justice, he argues against attempts to neutralize luck, and in favour of an alternative approach that emphasizes fairness.
Gerald Lang was born and raised in London, and pursued his studies in Bristol and then Oxford. He has held posts at Reading, Oxford, and Leeds, where he now works as Associate Professor of Philosophy. He has very broad interests in moral and political philosophy. He is now working on a project on self-defence, deontology, and war.
