Justice by Tom Campbell
The revised second edition of this text sets out the main contending theories of justice as exemplified in the works of a range of major theorists. Eight major theories of justice based on the work of Nozick, Dworkin, Rawls, Posner, Marx, Young and Habermas are each introduced in their own terms and assessed in accordance with their ability to generate clear, consistent and illuminating accounts of justice as a distinctive social, political and legal value.
Review comments on first edition: '[A] fine critical introduction[A]lways succinct and lucid, always fair minded. This is certain to become the standard text on contemporary theories of justice.' - David Miller, Journal of Social Policy '[E]very chapter is rich in insight and thought provoking in its analysis. The entire book reveals the learning of its author. [A]s an introductory text Justice succeeds admirably. One will not find anywhere else such easily accessible and clearly written introductions to this range of different views'. - Stephen C. Hicks, Bimonthly Review of Law Books
