Our everyday conversations reveal the widespread assumption that positive and negative treatment of others can be justified on the grounds that 'they deserve it'. But what is it exactly to deserve something? In this book, Kevin Kinghorn explores how we came to have this concept and offers an explanation of why people feel so strongly that redress is needed when outcomes are undeserved. Kinghorn probes for that core concern which is common to the range of everyday desert claims people make, ultimately proposing an alternative model of desert which represents a fundamental challenge to the received wisdom on the structure of desert claims. In the end, he argues, our plea for deserved treatment ends up being linked to the universal human concern for a shared narrative, as we seek healthy relationships within a community.

"white theology"?In this paper the position is defended that the DRC is not fundamentally bound to the system of apartheid. Although it can be shown that the DRC aligned herself with racist tendencies and feeling of superiority during the formative year of the politics of apartheid, this alignment should be seen against the colonial and rural social codes prevailing at the time. Furthermore, quotations can be advanced to show that the DRC considered apartheid to be a political means of escape from these social codes, I e that apartheid would be the political mode of social freedom and equality. It is argued that the fundamental intention of DRC was in fact to create a society in South Africa based on justice. Apartheid was seen as the embodiment of the Christian drive towards real justice. The reason why justice was not achieved lies in the dramatic and fundamental change in the substructure of South African society that took place during the past three decades. At the moment the DRC is still applying the former solutions (with the best of all possible intentions) to a society which has totally different needs. Thus, in fact, although unintentionally, the DRC is guilty of abetting an oppressive situation.

Two theological-ethical perspectives on an option for inclusive democracy in South Africa.The document 'The option for inclusive democracy' (Centre for Hermeneutics, University of Stellenbosch, 1987) is an attempt to develop a social theology which is legitimate as regards mainstream theology and relevant as regards the South African context. After two years of constant consultation with a wide spectrum of Christians [particularly black], the document was published in a concise format. This article deals with two important aspects informing the document – racism and the concept of created order. The racist concept of a world order based on a natural hierarchy of being prevalent in South Africa, is analysed. In response to this, 'The Opinion…' develops a moral (as opposed to an ideological) concept of the world order. The central point is that love, as a creative act of liberation and reconciliation, is the intended order for human life. Despite all odds, this order still pertains because God, as an actor also in the human game, maintains this order. The social-political structure of society should, taking into account the material conditions prevailing at any given time, be commensurate with God's order.

Background Sen's capability approach is underspecified; one decision left to those operationalising the approach is how to identify sets of relevant and important capabilities. Sen has suggested that lists be developed for specific policy or research objectives through a process of public reasoning and discussion. Robeyns offers further guidance in support of Sen's position, suggesting that lists should be explicit, discussed and defended; methods be openly scrutinised; lists be considered both in terms of what is ideal and what is practical ('generality'); and that lists be exhaustive. Here, the principles suggested by Robeyns are operationalised to facilitate external scrutiny of a list of capabilities identified for use in the evaluation of supportive end of life care. Methods This work started with an existing list of seven capabilities (the ICECAP-SCM), identified as being necessary for a person to experience a good death. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 experts in economics, psychology, ethics and palliative care, to facilitate external scrutiny of the developed list. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using constant comparison. Results The seven capabilities were found to encompass concepts identified as important by expert stakeholders (to be exhaustive) and the measure was considered feasible for use with patients receiving care at the end of life. Conclusion The rigorous development of lists of capabilities using both initial participatory approaches with affected population groups, and subsequent assessment by experts, strengthens their democratic basis and may encourage their use in policy contexts.
