Legal and political philosophers agree that justice occupies an important place in the pantheon of legal, moral and political values. However, they disagree about the contours of the concept of justice and also about the substansive requirements of a just society. This collection of essays by philosophers, legal theorists and political scientists provide a clear indication of the different approaches and viewpoints in each field. The text is divided into four parts that deal with: the scope of the very concept of ""justice""; discussions of redistributive, desert-based concpetions of justice; the developments, and critiques, of Rawlasian theory of justice; and feminist critiques of liberal theory of justice.

Contents:
The concepts of justice: humanity before justice, T.D. Campbell; justice to charity, Loren E. Lomasky; non-comparative justice, Joel Feinberg; comparative and non-comparative justice, Philip Montague. Justice - desert - redistribution: desert, consent and justice, Michael A. Slote; justice as equality, Christopher Ake; problems for effort-based distributions principles, Julian Lamont; negating positive desert claims, Robert E. Goodin; misfortune and injustice - on being disadvantaged, Francis Snare; real people (natural differences and the scope of justice), Alan H. Goldman. Political liberalism and justice: the domain of the political and overlapping consensus, John Rawls; the idea of public reason revisited, John Rawls; pluralism and social unity, William A. Galston; justice and the aims of political philosophy, Kurt Baier; political liberalsim, Michael J. Sandel. Feminist critiques of liberal justice: political liberalism, justice and gender, Susan Moller Okin; the disorder of women, Carole Pateman; a theory of justice - and love, Deborah Kearns; Rawls on the family, Deborah Kearns.
