《公正:该如何做是好?》内容简介：如果为了减轻病人的痛苦而向他提供致命性的药物，你认为这是对生命的亵渎吗？如果一个人的死能换来多数人的生，你会牺牲那个人面让自己和同伴们活下去吗？如果改进汽车的致命缺陷能挽救很多人的生命，你会愿意为此付出高额的改装费用吗？如果-项合同与传统道德桕冲突，法院判决合同无效，你会认为法院的判决是公正的吗？在这个日益物质化的年代，我们的行为选择总在人性和物质性之间摇摆不定。当我们遇到生死抉择的时候。我们常常因为尊重人的基本权利而违背利益最大化的理性原则；因此我们才会认为，19世纪遇险的英国船员为了存活下去杀死并吃掉一个病弱的奴仆，是有悖人道的。但是，当我们口口声声说个人的生命权利至上时，为什么像福特汽车这样的企业却会给生命贴上价格标签？如果我们尊重个体的权利。但为什么大多数人又会反对同性婚姻？ 我们的社会、我们的思潮、我们的正...(展开全部)
