Based on the principles of John Rawls' theory of justice, this book presents an alternative political vision that outlines a mode of governance aimed at enabling communities to pursue a sustainable and socially just future. Rawls' theory of justice not only outlines the kind of society that individuals would like to inhabit but also demonstrates how any society can establish just institutions. While philosophers have shown that Rawls' theory can serve as a framework for discussing issues of environmental justice, many philosophical theories face the challenge of addressing questions related to ecological interdependence, historical inequalities in resource use, and the realization that we cannot afford to overlook the limitations of growth. These ideas often struggle to find a comfortable place within the standard discourse surrounding theories of justice.
In contrast, this book presents the discussion of global justice in terms of environmental sustainability. The author argues that these ideas can be used to develop a coherent political theory that reconciles cosmopolitan arguments, which emphasize the importance of universal principles and rights, with non-cosmopolitan or nationalist arguments, which prioritize the interests and well-being of specific communities.
This book will be of immense interest to students and scholars of environmental philosophy and ethics, moral and political philosophy, global studies, and sustainable development. It offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the intersection of social and environmental justice and provides a framework for developing a more comprehensive and sustainable political vision for the future.
