When the noted political philosopher Iris Marion Young died in
2006, her death was mourned as the passing of "one of the most
important political philosophers of the past quarter-century" (Cass
Sunstein) and as an important and innovative thinker working at the
conjunction of a number of important topics: global justice;
democracy and difference; continental political theory; ethics and
international affairs; and gender, race and public policy. In her
long-awaited Responsibility for Justice, Young discusses our
responsibilities to address "structural" injustices in which we
among many are implicated (but for which we not to blame), often by
virtue of participating in a market, such as buying goods produced
in sweatshops, or participating in booming housing markets that
leave many homeless. Young argues that addressing these structural
injustices requires a new model of responsibility, which she calls
the "social connection" model. She develops this idea by clarifying
the nature of structural injustice; developing the notion of
political responsibility for injustice and how it differs from
older ideas of blame and guilt; and finally how we can then use
this model to describe our responsibilities to others no matter who
we are and where we live. With a foreward by Martha C. Nussbaum,
this last statement by a revered and highly influential thinker
will be of great interest to political theorists and philosophers,
ethicists, and feminist and political philosophers.
