Forty years ago, in his landmark work A Theory of Justice, the
American philosopher John Rawls depicted a just society as a fair
system of cooperation between citizens, regarded as free and equal
persons. Justice, Rawls famously claimed, is 'the first virtue of
social institutions'. Ever since then, moral and political
philosophers have expanded, expounded and criticized Rawls's main
tenets, from perspectives as diverse as egalitarianism, left and
right libertarianism and the ethics of care. This volume of essays
provides a general overview of the main strands in contemporary
justice theorising and features the most important and influential
theories of justice from the 'post Rawlsian' era. These theories
range from how to build a theory of justice and how to delineate
its proper scope to the relationship between justice and equality,
justice and liberty, and justice and desert. Also included is the
critique of the Rawlsian paradigm, especially from feminist
perspectives and from the growing strand of 'non-ideal' theory, as
well as consideration of more recent developments and
methodological issues.
