Facetten der Gerechtigkeit

摘要

The essay is subdivided into six chapters. The first chapter deals with the relation between human rights and justice developing a concept of legal justice. The second chapter considers the multiculturalists’ critique of the main principle of legal justice, the principle of treating all persons equally and as equals, and drafts a meta-critique. The following two chapters discuss the conundrum of welfarist justice and defend a weak version of equality of opportunity. The fifth chapter turns to the negative impingement of continual unemployment on political programmes trying to increase equality of opportunity. The concluding chapter analyses the welfarist instrument of unconditional basic income and discusses its political and moral significance for a society with a shrinking labour market.
