The Morality of Gay Rights Summary

The Morality of Gay Rights: An Exploration in Political Philosophy by Carlos Ball

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.

The Morality of Gay Rights Reviews

Ball is very knowledgeable, and he writes beautifully. One of his main strengths is his marvelously clear, scrupulously accurate exposition of recent debates in political philosophy. -- Andrew Koppelman, Northwestern University
Forceful, clear, thorough and caring. The Morality of GayRights is a welcome reworking of liberal theory, no less than a valuable addition to the scholarhsip concerning the viability, hopes and vulnerabilities of same-sex families in liberal society. -- Robin L. West, Georgetown University
Draws upon the writings of contemporary philosophers to discuss their relevance for current legal & political debates about gay rights. -- J. Lindroth, Sociological Abstracts
