“Marcus Arvan’s Rightness as Fairness: A Moral and Political Theory is a recent work in normative ethics that makes an interesting and worthwhile contribution to the field … . It is written in an analytical style, its position is clear and its arguments are structured and expressed well throughout the text. … I would especially recommend it to readers interested in normative ethics and instrumentalism.” (Liam Moore, Res Publica, Vol. 23, 2017)
