If we want to address cases of injustice, we need to rethink our theories of justice. That requires a critical analysis of the assumptions in liberal theories of justice as well as the development of alternatives. Theorizing Justice makes important contributions to this project, and should be required reading for anyone interested in justice for the world as it is.

This collection stimulatingly explores a great variety of questions that arise under the umbrella of justice—from Rawls’s question about the basic structure of society to questions about minimal, fundamental, and transitional justice; justice for indigenous peoples; justice in circumstances with more than moderate scarcity; and more—here appropriately addressed by a strikingly diverse set of distinctive authorial voices.
