Written by a group of distinguished philosophers, the "Foundations
of Philosophy Series" aims to exhibit some of the main problems in
the various fields of philosophy at the present stage of
philosophical inquiry. This book is written from the viewpoint that
although justice is the most important concept in political
philosophy, it is also one of the most contested concepts in
philosophy. The material presents a philosophical map to navigate
the plethora of confusing, competing theories and concepts
regarding the importance of justice. Coverage begins with an
overview of the concept of justice, arguing that justice is a vital
part of political philosophy, which in turn is part of moral
philosophy. The book outlines an objectivist view of moral
philosophy, which holds that moral principles have universal
validity. The author distinguishes between formal and material
concepts of justice and discusses the related issues of
comparative/noncomparative justice and distributive versus
commutative justice. For those in criminal justice professions or
philosophical vocations.
