Description:
Social Justice: Concepts and Issues is a multi-author volume that examines the complex and evolving idea of social justice. Throughout history, social justice has been at the heart of human civilization's quest for equality and the elimination of discrimination. However, the concept of social justice has never been easy to define and has varied greatly across time, cultures, and societal structures. This book brings together 15 thought-provoking essays by eminent scholars to offer fresh insights into the multifaceted nature of social justice.
The volume covers the moral, legal, economic, political, and historical perspectives of social justice, investigating its relevance in contemporary society. Topics explored include the connection between social justice and democracy, the role of gender in justice, justice-making mechanisms, retribution, and even the Hindu doctrine of karma. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to analyzing India’s “experiments” with social justice, specifically regarding the preferential treatment extended to historically exploited classes. The book also evaluates the social impact of these policies on both the marginalized groups and the larger society.
Social Justice: Concepts and Issues offers a comprehensive exploration of the varying interpretations of social justice and is a valuable resource for social thinkers, sociologists, philosophers, and anyone interested in the ongoing dialogue around social justice in contemporary societies.
