Biography
Kristján Kristjánsson is the author of Social Freedom: The Responsibility View (1996) and Justifying Emotions: Pride and Jealousy (2002) as well as various papers about morality, emotions and education in international journals.
'In this book Kristjan Kristjansson formulates and defends a desert-based theory of justice by undertaking two ambitious and pressing tasks: that of bringing together the literature on the philosophy of the emotions and theories of justice, so as to provide an account of the role of desert-based emotions for justice; and that of bridging the gap between philosophers'and social scientists'analysis of desert. The result is a broad-ranging and thought-provoking book which provides a systematic analysis of a timely topic. It will be of great interest to moral and political philosophers, psychologists and educationalists.' Serena Olsaretti, Cambridge University, UK 'This is a highly intelligent, well-written and well-informed book which grips and rewards the attention throughout; and brings the reader to the cutting edge of contemporary thinking on this most important subject.' Heythrop Journal
