Social Justice in Practice - Questions in Ethics and Political Philosophy (Hardcover, 2014)

In this book the practical dimension of social justice is explained using the analysis and discussion of a variety of well-known topics. These include: the relation between theory and practice in normative political philosophy;the issue of justice under uncertainty; the question of whether we can and should unmask social injustices by means of conspiracy theories; the issues of privacy and the right to privacy; the issue of how certain psychological states may affect our moral obligations, in particular the obligation to treat others fairly; and finally the concepts of morality, fairness, and self-deception. The primary goal of the book is to provide readers with an updated discussion of some important and practical social justice issues. These issues are presentedfrom anew perspective, based on the authors research. It is hoped that bringing these topics together in a single book will promote the emergence of new insights and challenges for future research.
