This book presents surveys of significant trends in contemporary
philosophy. Contributing authors explore themes relating to justice
including natural rights, equality, freedom, democracy, morality and
cultural traditions. Key movements and thinkers are considered,
ranging from ancient Greek philosophy, Roman and Christian traditions
to the development of Muslim law, Enlightenment perspectives and
beyond. Authors discuss important works, including those of Aristotle,
Ibn Khaldun, John Locke, Immanuel Kant and Mary Wollstonecraft.
Readers are also invited to examine Hegel and the foundation of right,
Karl Marx as a utopian socialist and the works of Paul Ricœur,
amongst the wealth of perspectives presented in this book. Through
these chapters, readers are able to explore the relationship of the
state to justice and consider the rights of the individual and the
role of law. Contributions presented here discuss concepts including
Sharia law, freedom in the community and Libertarian Anarchism.
Readers may follow accounts of justice in the Scottish Enlightenment
and consider fairness, social justice and the concept of injustice.
The surveys presented here show different approaches and a variety of
interpretations. Each contribution has its own bibliography.
