Summary: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 neutralise luck, and in favour of an alternative approach that emphasises fairness.
