The Idea of Justice
Langbeschreibung
Is justice merely an ideal, forever beyond our grasp, or something that may actually guide our practical decisions and enhance our lives? In this acclaimed book, Amartya Sen presents an alternative approach to mainstream theories of justice. At the heart of Sen's argument is his insistence on the role of public reasoning in establishing what can make societies less unjust. A major new philosophical work by the Nobel Prize-winning economist and writer.
Amartya Sen is one of the world's leading public intellectuals. He is Professor of Economics and Professor of Philosophy at Harvard. He was Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1998 to 2004, and won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1998. His many celebrated books include Development as Freedom (1999), The Argumentative Indian (2005) and The Idea of Justice (2010). They have been translated into more than 30 languages. In 2020 he was awarded the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade.
