Their disagreement about justice and its principles calls for a choice, which opts either for the Rawlsian theory or for the Cohenian one. What is the more plausible approach to social justice? This work compares both approaches and aims to defend Cohen?s position in the light of two considerations. It answers the philosophical question about the analysis of the idea of justice, which puts the virtue of justice in its philosophical context. It, however, presents a method everyone can apply in order to arrive at the fundamental principles of justice by employing the power of reason. An analysis of the concept of justice based on the power of reason should seek to uncover the ultimate nature of justice, which is independent of facts and of other virtues. Once exposed, the understanding of justice arrived at should inform social institutions and determine people?s daily decisions. A just society is therefore a society where just persons and just institutions exhibit the virtue of justice. 410 0$aPractical philosophy ;$vVolume 20. 606 $aJustice 606 $aEquality 610 $aDifference principle. 610 $aegalitarianism. 610 $areason. 610 $asocial justice. 615 0$aJustice. 615 0$aEquality. 676 $a320.011 700 $aSaade?$b Eliane$f1983-$01012552 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820772103321 996 $aThe concept of justice and equality$92351500 997 $aUNINA
