The Enigma of Justice: Freedom and Morality in the Work of Immanuel
Kant, G.W.F Hegel, Agnes Heller, and Axel Honneth offers a novel
perspective on the idea of justice. Claire Nyblom argues that
justice is a cultural and historical constant, routinely summoned
as if it were a foundational concept to legitimate or challenge
social arrangements. Instead, justice is characterized by a
plurality of theories, containing regulative and critical
dimensions that are in tension. Nyblom argues that the categorical
imperative can be positioned as a strong evaluative standard that
mediates plurality, creating a revisable idea of justice resistant
to relativism. After identifying the originating architecture of
Immanuel Kant and G.W.F Hegel, the discussion engages with the work
of Agnes Heller and Axel Honneth, using the "pivots of justice" as
an analytic lens focused on commonalities rather than differences.
This framework leads to a dialogue between Heller and Honneth that
strengthens their respective positions. The Enigma of Justice
provides a valuable study and insight into the contemporary nature
of justice. The book provides a useful orientation for students and
scholars interested in debates about justice, and to those working
in the areas of European philosophy, social and political theory,
sociology, and the law.
