Journal Article
WHAT IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL ABOUT JUSTICE?
2016
Overview
Does social justice lose all application in the (imaginary, of course) condition
in which people are morally flawless? The answer, I will argue, is that it does
not — justice might still have application. This is one lesson of my
broader thesis in this paper, that there is a variety of conditions we would all
regard as highly idealistic and unrealistic which are, nevertheless, not beyond
justice. The idea of “circumstances of justice” developed
especially by Hume and Rawls may seem to point in a more realistic direction,
but we can see that this is not so once we distinguish between conditions of
need for norms of justice, conditions of their emergence, and conditions of
applicability of the standard of justice. Justice, I argue, can have application
even in conditions where no mechanism of justice is present or needed, such as
the case of internalized motives of justice.
