Iris Marion Young (1949-2006) was one of the most influential and
innovative political theorists of her generation who had a
significant impact on a wide range of topics such as democratic
theory, feminist theory, and justice. She bridged many longstanding
divides among political theorists, engaging in Continental and
critical theory, but also insisting on the importance of normative
argument: her corpus stands as a testament to the fruitfulness of
engaging in both abstract theory and the 'real world' of everyday
politics. This volume spans the several decades of her work,
illustrating her intellectual development over time through three
major areas of innovation: Gender: Maintaining that gender is both
conceptually and politically meaningful, Young theorized gender in
terms of structures that, in combination, position different people
we call "women" in different ways, such that some women have some
structures in common, without all women sharing all gendered
structures in common. Justice: Young's early writings on a critical
theory of justice evolved in her later and posthumously published
works where she developed an account of justice that brought
together her theorization of structure with her concern to respond
to contemporary claims of injustice. The Politics of Difference:
Young rejected universal and abstract theories of justice and
maintained that justice instead required attending to the
experiences of people marked by difference. This volume will prove
useful to scholars and students working in the fields of critical
and political theory, feminist theory, international law and public
diplomacy.
