The Morality of Gay Rights
An exploration in political philosophy
In The
Morality of Gay Rights,
Ball presents a comprehensive exploration of the connection between
gay rights and political philosophy. He discusses the writing of
contemporary political and legal philosophers-including Rawls,
Walzer, Nussbaum, Sandel, Rorty and Dworkin-to evaluate how their
theoretical frameworks fit the specific gay rights controversies,
such as same-sex marriage and parenting by lesbians and gay men, that
are part of our nation's political and legal debates.
