"Contexts of Justice, " highly acclaimed when it was published in
Germany, provides a significant new intervention into the important
debate between communitarianism and liberalism. Rainer Forst argues
for a theory of "contexts of justice" that leads beyond the narrow
confines of this debate as it has been understood until now and
posits the possibility of a new conception of social and political
justice. This book brings refreshing clarity to a complex topic as
it provides a synthesis of traditions and theories that leads to a
truly original approach.
Forst makes a four-part distinction to decipher the debate between
communitarianism and liberalism. These four parts concern the
constitution of the self, the neutrality of law, the ethos of
democracy, and the opposition between universalism and
contextualism. He shows that a comprehensive theory of justice
needs to take these different contexts adequately into account. He
discusses recent debates about discursive democracy and feminist
critiques of liberalism, and addresses such topics as
multiculturalism and civil society.
