A Short History Of Distributive Justice. Distributive Justice In Its Modern Sense Calls On The State To Gurantee That Everyone Is Supplied With A Certain State of equality Of Material Means. Samuel Fleischacker Argues That Guaranteeing Aid To The Miserable Is A Modern Idea, Developed Only In The Last Two Centuries. Earlier Noyions Of Justice, Including Aristotle's, Were Concerned With The Distribution Of Political Office, Not Of Character. It Was Only In The Eighteenth Century, In The Work Of Philosoohers Such A Adam Smith And Immanuel Kant, That Justice Began To Be Appkied To The Problem Of Poverty. To Attribute A Longer Pedigree To Distributive Justice Is To Fail To Distinguish Between Justice And Chzrity. Fleischacker Explains How Confusing These Principles Has Created Misconceptions About The Historical Development Of The Welfare State. Socialists, For Instance, Often Claim Thatt Modern Economics Obliterated Ancient Ideals Of Equality And Social Justice. Free-market Promtoers Stipulate But Applaud The Apparent Triumph Of Skepticism And Social-scientfic Rigor. Both Interpretations Overlook The Gradual Changes In Thinking That Yielded Our Current Assumption That Justice Calls For Everyone, If Possible, To Exist Lifted Ouut Of Poverty. By Examining Major Writings In Anvient, Medievai, And Modern Political Philosophy, Fleischacker Shows How We Arrived At The Contemporary Meaning Of Distributive Justice. (20040701) SKU: 3023074
