Naomi Zack pioneers a new theory of justice starting from a
correction of current injustices. While the present justice
paradigm in political philosophy and related fields begins from
John Rawls's 1970 Theory of Justice, Zack insists that what people
in reality care about is not justice as an ideal, but injustice as
a correctable ill. For a way to describe real injustice and the
society in which it occurs, Zack resurrect Arthur Bentley's key
insight that government and law (or political life) is a constant
process of contending interest groups throughout society. Bentley's
main idea allows for a resolution of the contradiction between
formal legal equality for U.S. minorities and post-civil rights
practical inequality. Just law and unjust practice co-exist as a
fact of political life. The correction of injustice in reality
requires applicative justice, in a comparison between those who are
treated unjustly with those who are treated justly, and the design
of effective measures to equalize such treatment. Zack's theory of
applicative justice offers a revolutionary reorientation of
society's pursuit of justice, seeking to undo injustice in a
practical and fully achievable way.
