{"product_id":"9780195392388-1","title":"Responsibility for Justice","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the noted political philosopher Iris Marion Young died in 2006, her death was mourned as the passing of \"one of the most important political philosophers of the past quarter-century\" (Cass Sunstein) and as an important and innovative thinker working at the conjunction of a number of important topics: global justice; democracy and difference; continental political theory; ethics and international affairs; and gender, race and public policy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her long-awaited \u003ci\u003eResponsibility for Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, Young discusses our responsibilities to address \"structural\" injustices in which we among many are implicated (but for which we not to blame), often by virtue of participating in a market, such as buying goods produced in sweatshops, or participating in booming housing markets that leave many homeless. Young argues that addressing these structural injustices requires a new model of responsibility, which she calls the \"social connection\" model. She develops this idea by clarifying the nature of structural injustice; developing the notion of political responsibility for injustice and how it differs from older ideas of blame and guilt; and finally how we can then use this model to describe our responsibilities to others no matter who we are and where we live.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith a foreward by Martha C. Nussbaum, this last statement by a revered and highly influential thinker will be of great interest to political theorists and philosophers, ethicists, and feminist and political philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042043740400,"sku":"9780195392388","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195392388_p0.jpg?v=1763664965","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195392388-1","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
