Описание: Critics have maintained that John Rawls`s theory of justice is unrealistic and undemocratic. Andrius Galisanka`s incisive intellectual biography argues that in misunderstanding the origins and development of Rawls`s argument, previous narratives fail to explain the novelty of his philosophical approach and so misunderstand his political vision.
Описание: This book explores the three foundational topics in Rawls`s theories of justice (social justice, multiculturalism, and global justice) while deconstructing ideas of democratic citizenship, public reason, and liberal individualism latent in his treatment of these subjects in order to uncover their cultural and historical underpinnings.

Описание:
The author discusses to what extent a generally binding norm of social justice can be established in a modern, plural society. The book presents the difficulty associated with the preservation of plurality of different life forms. It also considers the plurality of the principles of social justice so as not to fall back to prioritization and the absolutization of their claims. This book argues for a more constructive way to search for criteria for complementarity, referring methodologically to Rawls’ and Honneth’s theories of justice. The author contents that the principles of social justice and their sources of normativity are plural.
