Klappentext zu „Social Justice in Practice “
In this book the practical dimension of social justice is explained using the analysis and discussion of a variety of well-known topics. These include: the relation between theory and practice in normative political philosophy; the issue of justice under uncertainty; the question of whether we can and should unmask social injustices by means of conspiracy theories; the issues of privacy and the right to privacy; the issue of how certain psychological states may affect our moral obligations, in particular the obligation to treat others fairly; and finally the concepts of morality, fairness, and self-deception. The primary goal of the book is to provide readers with an updated discussion of some important and practical social justice issues. These issues are presented from a new perspective, based on the author´s research. It is hoped that bringing these topics together in a single book will promote the emergence of new insights and challenges for future research.Juha Räikkä is a professor at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Turku, Finland. His research focuses on ethics and political philosophy.

Pressezitat
"In Social Justice in Practice, Juha Räikkä addresses a wide variety of subjects, tackling each one with competence and originality. ... Räikkä makes each topic accessible and appealing also to readers unfamiliar with them. ... Räikkä's essays are certainly challenging and thought-provoking. This is a highly appreciable feature in a philosophical book and a good reason to read it." (Francesca Pasquali, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, Vol. 18 (3), June, 2015)"This book has an admirable quality of serving well as an introduction and a contribution to the topics discussed, which makes it a valuable read for both aspiring and established professionals in the field - or anyone philosophically interested in the numerous subjects of the book." (Vadim A. Chaly and Igor A. Gorkov, Ratio.ru, Issue 12, September, 2014)
