What is social justice?

Beginning with the first political philosophers in ancient Athens, and continuing right through Marx into our post-modern era, man has wrestled with the question of justice; and the answers have been as earnest as they have been varied.

Today, our “expert” class also claim to have answers—updated answers, more “equitable” answers, more technological answers ... in short, answers that are simply better suited to our times.

But are those answers in any way correct? Do they work? Are they—just?

In this book of elegant, nuanced essays, twenty-one accomplished academics use the tools of ancient and modern analysis to shed light on these important questions—and the answers are revealing.

Armed with ample evidence from real-world experiences, lessons from history, the wisdom of the classics, modern philosophers and economists, and even the teachings of the world religions, the contributors of Is Social Justice Just? ([link removed]) illuminate the central role of the individual in achieving justice in all its aspects.

Read it, and you will begin to think about “social justice,” and justice itself, in some surprising new ways.
