Description
The Idea of Justice by Amartya Sen offers a refreshing alternative approach to mainstream theories of justice. Sen argues that justice is not an ideal beyond our grasp, but rather a concept that can guide our practical decisions and enhance our lives.
At the heart of Sen's argument is his insistence on the role of public reason in establishing what can make societies less unjust. He also shows how the principles of justice in the modern world must avoid parochialism and address vital questions of global injustice.
This book is a thought-provoking exploration of justice, written by one of the world's leading public intellectuals. With its breadth of vision, intellectual acuity and striking humanity, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the subject.
