Though much attention has been paid to different principles of
justice, far less has been done reflecting on what the larger
concern behind the notion is. In this work, Mathias Risse proposes
that the perennial quest for justice is about ensuring that each
individual has an appropriate place in what our uniquely human
capacities permit us to build, produce, and maintain, and is
appropriately respected for the capacity to hold such a place to
begin with. Risse begins by investigating the role of political
philosophers and exploring how to think about the global context
where philosophical inquiry occurs. Next, he offers a
quasi-historical narrative about how the notion of distributive
justice identifies a genuinely human concern that arises
independently of cultural context and has developed into the one we
should adopt now. Finally, he investigates the core terms of this
view, including stringency, moral value, ground and duties of
justice.
