Abstract
Ethical theory is the third of the three interlocking theories that, according to Harsanyi, constitute rational choice theory. In the chapters to come I discuss three ethical theories that are compatible with rational choice theory. Their relative merits and shortcomings will be discussed and compared. I shall particularly address the question of distributive justice.
