In our lives, we aim to achieve welfare for ourselves, that is, to live good lives. But we also have another, more impartial perspective, where we aim to balance our concern for our own welfare against a concern for the welfare of others. This is a perspective of justice. Nils Holtug examines these two perspectives and the relations between them. " Persons, Interests, and Justice (PIJ) develops and ties together two important areas of normative ethics - individual self-interest and distributive justice. Holtug makes important contributions in both areas, and writes with exceptional clarity and rigour. PIJ overlaps significantly with Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons but goes even further in its investigation of the moral significance of individual self-interest, offering what is perhaps the most extensive and systematic exploration of the topic to date. ... Persons, Interests, and Justice is an outstanding book filled with illuminating and insightful discussion of a wide range of topics." -- Tim Campbell, Mind Nils Holtug examines these two perspectives (impartial perspective and perspective of justice) and the relations between them.
