{"product_id":"9780199889358","title":"Responsibility for Justice","description":"When 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.  In  her long-awaited \u003cem\u003eResponsibility for Justice\u003c\/em\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.  With 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.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119862825200,"sku":"9780199889358","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199889358_p0.jpg?v=1763673277","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199889358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
