{"product_id":"responsibility-for-justice-9780199970957","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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIris Marion Young\u003c\/strong\u003e [deceased] was Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago.
