Rawls Global

Abstract

The author peaks up the topic of social justice, from the proposals of John Rawls, to ask homself about the consequences of globalization on the issue of justice. He thus refers to the fundamental question of Rawls on the possibility of finding universally binding principles of justice, but highligts that it sticks to modern Western democratic societies, and that other social orders do not fit, so Rawls does not offer a universal theory. Then he analyzes other authors, notably Sen, to explore new grounds for universal social justice within the global context.
