In this wide-ranging work, Amartya Sen offers an alternative view to dominant theories of justice. Rather than identifying perfectly just social arrangements, Sen focuses on clarifying how different realizations of justice can be compared and evaluated to reduce injustice. He emphasizes the role of public reason and the need to avoid parochialism in modern principles of justice.
