ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an Interview with Hillel Steiner. Hillel Steiner is Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester, and a Fellow of the British Academy. He is also Research Professor in Philosophy and in the Center for the Philosophy of Freedom at the University of Arizona. A Canadian, he was born and grew up in Toronto, and studied economics as an undergraduate at the University of Toronto, where he became actively involved in socialist politics and the American civil rights movement. His move into political philosophy occurred in the course of his doctoral research at the University of Manchester and was partly due to his encountering the philosophical methods of conceptual analysis. An adequate account of justice, he came to believe, must be one derived from points of conceptual intersection between moral philosophy, jurisprudence and economic theory.
