This has been difficult in view of the nature of the first fifteen chapters of the book, which I have left unchanged. My main intention in writing those earlier chapters ...was to contribute to an emerging international philosophical debate on the nature of justice and to insist on the importance of the concrete and particular in time and place when that debate was bent conducted. But I also felt obliged to record for New Zealander something of their recent intellectual and political history that I thought had not, until then, been related in coherent form....In the added chapter, long as it is, the history, political and the philosophy are treated much more briskly and are much less separated from from the other.... Maori-Pakeha political interaction is not generally much better understood. More
