Beschreibung
Is justice merely an ideal, forever beyond our grasp, or something that may actually guide our practical decisions and enhance our lives? In this acclaimed book, Amartya Sen presents an alternative approach to mainstream theories of justice. At the heart of Sen's argument is his insistence on the role of public reasoning in establishing what can make societies less unjust. A major new philosophical work by the Nobel Prize-winning economist and writer.
