Ten years ago, John Keane, an artist best known for his 2002 National Portrait Gallery study of the late politician Mo Mowlam, argued the fair had become a playground for an insider crowd with an unhealthy role in propping up the contemporary art business. “All the newspapers cover the same shows and you tend to see the same artists’ names coming up at the Tate, Hayward and Whitechapel galleries,” he complained. “It might be exciting, and I congratulate Frieze for becoming so successful, but if you happen to be outside the loop it doesn’t look quite so good.”

But it’s precisely at times like this that values should be discussed and defended. That’s the belief of former BMA president Raanan Gillon and current council chair Phil Banfield – and they want to start a conversation about how to make medicine fairer. Fairness is just one of four principles, and these may conflict. And there are many different substantive theories of fairness or justice, which may also conflict, as legal battles over the withdrawal of life support painfully prove. Prof Gillon stresses, as Aristotle did, that medical ethics is not an exact science: dilemmas often don’t have simple answers. He also recognises that shared decision-making isn’t always possible, especially at 3am when you’re the most senior doctor on duty.A standard approach to social, political and economic problems is to identify stark inequalities between individuals, groups and countries as the root cause. The solution is usually redistribution towards more egalitarian outcomes. Yet, recent research in philosophy, psychology and elsewhere questions the wisdom of such solutions. Say, for one kind of achievement, the most relevant factors affecting performance are quality of education and IQ. We can then group together those who are affected by the same factors. For instance, one group will be of those with a better education, but lower IQ. Interestingly, more recent research draws a link between populist voting patterns in elections (in the US in 2016, and in France and the EU in 2019) and economic unfairness measured in terms of low social mobility. People are taking to the streets, as two economists wrote, not because they have less than others, but rather because they want fair opportunity. If distributive justice is a combination of equal opportunities and fair reward for talent and effort, then outcomes are likely to be unequal. So, let’s start with Aristotle’s formal principle and work together on the morally difficult task of deciding when it is fair to treat people equally and when it is not fair to do so.’

The North West’s biggest craft show for patchworkers, quilters and embroiderers. Enjoy exhibitions, workshops and lots of craft shopping. First, is equality valued for its own sake? Consider a society in which everybody gets the same, but not enough. This will not be valued more than a society with huge disparities, where there is sufficient for all. Moreover, we usually react to being unfairly disadvantaged, rather than simply to not getting the same. Hence, restricting distribution to equal shares or conditioning unequal shares on being to the worst-off’s benefit, irrespective of how hard we each work, does not seem just. There's so much to enjoy at the Knitting & Stitching Show that it's best to arrive early and make a full day of it. This year you can expect the usual textile galleries, visit the infamous yarn village, listen to talks in the Creative Living Theatre and look out for a special visitor – a giant knitted Shrek! From India and Pakistan will be paintings, works on paper, prints and sculpture by F. N. Souza, Rasheed Araeen, Avinash Chandra and Balraj Khanna; from Taiwan and China – Richard Lin and Li Yuan-chia; from Indonesia – Kim Lim; from Central and Eastern Europe – David Bomberg, Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud, PaulFeiler, Peter Kinley, Karl Weschke, Jankel Adler, Josef Herman, Hans Coper, Fred Uhlman, Caziel, Peter Schmidt, Kurt Hutton, Edith Tudor Hart, Bill Brandt, and Rolf Brandt; from Ukraine – Bernard Meninsky; from Africa, James Barnor; from the Caribbean – Aubrey Williams and Cleveland Brown; from Australia and New Zealand – Sidney Nolan and Frances Hodgkins; and from America – Jacob Epstein, Liliane Lijn, R.B. Kitaj, and Susan Hiller. Works are being supplied by past and present exhibitors of the fair and will be for sale with prices ranging from four to six figures. This isn’t a new conception of fair economic distribution, although it seems to have enjoyed more positive reconsideration recently. What this conception advocates instead is meritocracy.

For me, fairness sits above all other BMA values,’ says Prof Banfield. ‘It’s central to how we do business, how we behave with each other, how we interact with society, how we practise medicine. Although the basic taxonomy and methods have been made available for non-commercial use under a creative commons license, FAIR itself is proprietary. Using FAIR to analyze someone else's risk for commercial gain (e.g. through consulting or as part of a software application) requires a license from RMI. [3] Documentation [ edit ]

The fair’s exhibiting galleries represent some of the most exciting artists working today, from the emerging to the iconic; and a team of world-leading independent curators advise on feature sections, making possible performance-based work and ambitious presentations by emerging galleries. The fair focuses on living artists and innovative practice. The 2023 edition of the fair is the most international edition of the fair to date. Frieze London was founded in 2003 by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover. Eva Langret is the Director of Frieze London. Since then, the annual wake-up shake that Frieze gives the capital has affected both its cultural and commercial life. And as each autumn has passed, the fair has moved towards becoming a visiting mini-empire rather than a travelling circus, with an array of spin-off exhibitions, auctions, live events and parallel franchises. In this moral minefield, the different substantive theories of justice do at least agree on Aristotle’s ‘formal principle’ of justice or fairness, which says: ‘Equals should be treated equally and unequals should be treated unequally in proportion to the relevant inequalities.’

We may disagree with this principle because we usually profit from many contingent factors. For instance, we may have been born with rare talents, within an affluent family, group or country.
