Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 496 pages. Social justice: an ideal, forever beyond our grasp; or one of many practical possibilities? More than a matter of intellectual discourse, the idea of justice plays a real role in how - and how well - people live. And in this book the dis tinguished scholar Amartya Sen offers a powerful critique of the theory of socia l justice that, in its grip on social and political thinking, has long left prac tical realities far behind. The transcendental theory of justice, the subject of Sen's analysis, flourished in the Enlightenment and has proponents among some o f the most distinguished philosophers of our day; it is concerned with identifyi ng perfectly just social arrangements, defining the nature of the perfectly just society. The approach Sen favors, on the other hand, focuses on the comparative judgments of what is 'more' or 'less' just, and on the comparative merits of th e different societies that actually emerge from certain institutions and social interactions. At the heart of Sen's argument is a respect for reasoned differenc es in our understanding of what a 'just society' really is. People of different persuasions - for example, utilitarians, economic egalitarians, labor right theo rists, no - nonsense libertarians - might each reasonably see a clear and straig htforward resolution to questions of justice; and yet, these clear and straightf orward resolutions would be completely different. In light of this, Sen argues f or a comparative perspective on justice that can guide us in the choice between alternatives that we inevitably face.…
