How have such people been affected by luck in who they are and can become, the good lives available to them, the evils they may be liable to embody? Other philosophers have explored the luck of those who begin from privileged positions and then suffer reversals of fortune. Claudia Card focuses on the more common cases of those who begin from socially disadvantaged positions, and she considers some who find their good luck troubling when its source is the unnatural lottery of social injustice. Author note: Claudia Card is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, with teaching affiliations in women's studies and environmental studies. She belongs to many philosophical societies, including the Midwest Society of Women in Philosophy, the Society for Lesbian and Gay Philosophy, and the North American Nietzsche Society. She serves on several editorial boards and is the philosophy book review editor for the "Journal of Homosexuality". Her other works include "Feminist Ethics, ed.", "Adventures in Lesbian Philosophy, ed.", and "Lesbian Choices".
