In contrast to many contemporary approaches, the theory provides normative guidance, rather than focusing solely on political structures and institutions, as the question of justice is seen to comprise both a moral inquiry concerned with questions of good and bad, right and wrong, and a political inquiry, concerned with the nature of the polity and how individuals relate to it.

In working through his argument students and scholars will confront some of the most important questions of moral and political philosophy. This an ambitious and thought provoking book. -- Paul Kelly, London School of Economics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart One: The Theory of Justice as Right Actions Chapter 1\tIntroduction: The Theory and How it Operates Part Two: Moral Dimensions Chapter 2\tAgency and Responsibility: Action-Guiding Principles Chapter 3\tMoral-Decision-Making and Relational Justice Part Three: Political Liberalism Chapter 4\tValues and Liberalism Chapter 5\tUtility and the Harm Principle Chapter 6\tLiberty Chapter 7\tEquality Part Four: The Reach of the Theory Chapter 8\tGlobal Justice Chapter 9\tFuture Obligations of Justice Part Five: Contemporary Disputes: The Power of Groups  Chapter 10\tGroup Rights Chapter 11\tCommunities Chapter 12\tMulticulturalism and the Limits of Liberalism Conclusion Works Cited About the Author Index","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040661307735,"sku":"9781498516518","price":83.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498516518.jpg?v=1750947429","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/justice-as-right-actions-9781498516518","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
