The focus will be on justice; however, we shall additionally touch upon debates surrounding rights, equality, and liberty. We will investigate justice to understand what is at issue; we will subject it to careful philosophical analyses, and examine its relevance to crucial contemporary issues. We will attempt to reach our own defensible conclusions through discussion and debate. The following questions will be central to our discussion: What is justice? Is it fairness? Is it equal treatment? Is it getting one s due? Or perhaps conception of justice varies across societies? Also, what requirements a society need fulfill to be called just? For instance, is it acceptable that a select few, virtually living next to extremely deprived, have more money than they could possibly spend? Or should the rich be heavily taxed to help the impoverished (and on what grounds)? Should earned income be taxed the same as unearned income? Moreover, is it just that people endowed with superior natural abilities enjoy ensuing rewards? Perhaps such rewards are undeserved and partly owed to those disadvantaged in the natural lottery? Our public policy depends on answers to these questions and every individual inhabiting a society has a stake in it.
