I am grateful to audiences there, and at seminars at Australian National University: one with the Social and Political Theory Program in the Research School of Social Sciences, and one with the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (CAPPE); and at a seminar with CAPPE at University of Melbourne. I warmly acknowledge the Social and Political Theory program's hospitality and fellowship support, as well as sabbatical support from Brown University, for the 2001–02 academic year. I also benefited from discussion of an early draft with Erin Kelly and Arthur Applbaum, from presenting a colloquium at the Philosophy Department at University of Pennsylvania, and from comments by the Editors of Philosophy & Public Affairs.
