"Political theorists agree that justice is a fundamental political value but disagree profoundly about its proper analysis and philosophical justification. This substantially revised and updated second edition of Tom Campbell's text provides a much-expanded overview of the nature and scope of justice, as well as clear expositions and critiques of the principal contending theorists of most relevance to the contemporary world." "Following two general introductory chapters, the book considers in detail eight broad approaches as exemplified in the work of Robert Nozick, Ronald Dworkin, John Rawls, Richard Posner, Wojciech Sadurski, Karl Marx, Iris Marion Young and Jurgen Habermas." "The author concludes by reflecting on the role of justice in contemporary political thought and its partial eclipse by the discourse of human rights."--Jacket.
