Description
Moving beyond the search for a perfectly just society, this influential work asks how people can identify and remedy injustice in the world as it exists. It examines the limits of idealized, “transcendental” theories of justice and develops a comparative approach grounded in reason, public debate, and the evaluation of real human lives. Drawing on economics, philosophy, political theory, and global history, it explores themes including freedom, equality, democracy, identity, and human capability. The result is a rigorous yet accessible contribution to contemporary political thought and a practical framework for making societies more just.
