This book explores justice as both a philosophical concept and a
measurable social indicator for evaluating quality of life. It offers
an original framework that integrates ethical theory with empirical
applications in public policy, especially in sectors such as health,
education, and the environment. Rooted in the rich traditions of moral
and political philosophy, the book redefines justice as a central
dimension of human well-being—one that can be both conceptually
coherent and practically assessed. Through a critical engagement with
classical thinkers, contemporary theories, and applied case studies,
the book presents a justice-centered alternative to existing models
based on utility, capabilities, or economic welfare. Each chapter
bridges abstract principles with real-world implications, offering
insights into how justice can be integrated into policy design,
performance evaluation, and development agendas. The author challenges
the prevailing fragmentation between normative theory and social
indicators, proposing a unifying approach that enriches both. This
book is essential reading for scholars in philosophy, sociology,
development studies, and public policy, as well as for practitioners
interested in embedding ethical considerations into social measurement
and decision-making. By foregrounding justice as both an end and a
means, this book opens new pathways toward a more equitable and
reflective approach to quality of life.
