Module overview
The aim of this module is to familiarise you with several important, but competing, theories of justice, which date from the 1970s onwards. Such theories give guidance on important questions of distributive justice (who ought to get what, when and why?), and provide, to varying degrees, grounds for the condemnation of real-world injustices. On completing the module, you will be expected to have a good understanding of the pros and cons of these theories. You will also be able to apply those theories to several important issues, such as racial or gender-based injustice, and the politics of multiculturalism.
