ABSTRACT

We have seen the factors influencing how the pie was sliced (or at least one version of that story). This chapter asks how the pie should be sliced. Several philosophical approaches to this all-important issue are reviewed. The chapter does not conclude with THE ANSWER being revealed; for reasons to be explored, there is no scientifically objective answer. Philosophers have discussed this topic for literally centuries, and they have come up with many valuable insights that should help you to reach your own answer.
