Concise Title: Justice Reader

The essential readings on justice and moral reasoning are brought together in one indispensable volume by Justice. The collection provides a thematic overview of the concept of justice, with readings from major thinkers from the classical era up to the present. Sandel's organization of the readings and his own commentaries allow readers to engage with a variety of pressing contemporary issues. The collection engages with the core concerns of political philosophy, including individual rights and the claims of community, equality and inequality, morality and law, and ultimately, justice, by looking at a host of ethical dilemmas, such as affirmative action, conscription, income distribution, and gay rights, from a variety of angles - morally, legally, and politically. With concise section introductions that put the readings in context, this anthology is an invaluable tool for students, teachers, and anyone who wishes to engage in the great moral debates that have animated politics from classical times to our own.
