Indeed, the two towering book-ends to Western political thought -- Plato's Republic and John Rawls' milestone 1971 publication, A Theory of Justice-- are both essays on justice. Structured around the historical and conceptual relationship between distributive and corrective justice, ABrief History of Justice traces the development of this fundamental idea from antiquity to the present day. This wide-ranging, yet concise book delves deeply into the evolving traditions of justice, from roots in Babylonian and Hebrew law and Greek political thought to the most prominent contemporary renderings in the work of Rawls and other modern thinkers, including incisive chapter-length introductions to the work of Plato, Aristotle, the utilitarians, Kant, and Rawls. David Johnston weaves a sophisticated, yet accessible, narrative, integrating philosophical discussion with pressing contemporary questions about justice. With clarity and scholarly precision, A Brief History of Justice offers readers an invaluable survey of an important and powerful concept that continues to dominate the field of political philosophy"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aBrief histories of philosophy. 606 $aJustice (Philosophy)$xHistory 606 $aSocial justice$xPhilosophy 615 0$aJustice (Philosophy)$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial justice$xPhilosophy. 676 $a172.209 686 $aPHI000000$2bisacsh 700 $aJohnston$b David$f1951-$0907515 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910208826503321 996 $aA brief history of justice$92030068 997 $aUNINA
