- Summary:
- The idea of status has long puzzled philosophers. Some people have higher social status than others, and some have distinct legal statuses, such as being an employee, a tenant, or a refugee. But why should that be the case? Why should some enjoy more esteem than others? And why should law pick out a class of persons, give it a label, and treat it differently? 'Status in Law and Morality' provides a philosophical account of status, arguing that it is a moral, and not just a legal or social, idea
