Description

Caring for Justice by Robin West explores how women's lived experiences and perspectives differ from those of men in shaping our understanding of justice. The author argues that a theory of justice which incorporates women's distinctive moral voice is essential, as well as a theory of harm that acknowledges and compensates the various harms suffered disproportionately by women. West examines key areas such as the nature of justice, economic theories of value, and constitutional discourse to illustrate the adverse repercussions of an anti-essentialist position on jurisprudence. She offers strategies for correcting these shortcomings, proposing an alternative approach that refines our understanding of similarities and differences between women and men. By providing a fresh feminist perspective on traditional jurisprudence, West aims to improve our discourse on justice and harm, ultimately leading to a more inclusive and equitable system.
