In this final part John Gardner turns to the broader implications of his work for moral philosophy. He discusses Bernard Williams and moral luck; Rawls' picture of ideal and non-ideal moral theory, and distributive and corrective justice. He then turns to the role of expressive value before closing with a discussion of methods in moral and legal philosophy. He explores the role of intuitions and law in philosophical thought, and the ways in which consequentialist outcomes of moral norms are tested in the legal context.
