About this book

Theories of Justice: A Treatise on Social Justice, Vol. 1 (California Series on Social Choice and Political Economy) (Volume 16) by Barry, Brian. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780520076495.

What is social justice? In Theories of Justice Brian Barry provides a systematic and detailed analysis of two kinds of answers. One is that justice arises from a sense of the advantage to everyone of having constraints on the pursuit of self-interest. The other answer connects the idea of justice with that of impartiality. Though the first book of a trilogy, Theories of Justice stands alone and constitutes a major contribution to the debate about social justice that began in 1971 with Rawlss A Theory of Justice.
