Description & Specifications

Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen's book, "The Idea of Justice," offers a refreshing approach to the prevailing theories of justice. Is justice an ideal that is always beyond our reach, or something that can truly guide our practical decisions and improve our lives? At the core of Sen's argument is his insistence on the role of public reasoning in guiding the creation of less unjust societies. However, there are always choices to be made between alternative assessments of what is reasonable, and competing positions can be defended in their own way. Rather than dismiss these complexities, we should use them to build a theory of justice that can accommodate divergent views. Sen also shows how the principles of justice in the modern world must avoid parochialism and recognize critical issues of global injustice. The breadth of vision, intellectual acuity, and striking humanity of one of the world's leading public thinkers are manifested in an unprecedented way in this remarkable book.

Amartya Sen is a professor at Harvard University and won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998. His most recent books include "The Argumentative Indian," "Identity and Violence," and "Development as Freedom." His books have been translated into thirty languages.
