Groups in Conflict addresses the conflict and tensions that exist between impartiality and partiality in political philosophy, ordinary thought, and practice by setting theoretical arguments in the context of contemporary issues such as immigration and public policy.

Far more than just exposing these irreconcilable differences, Franklin also proposes the modifications necessary to approach the nature of human equality.
