Niti O Nyajyata by Amartya Sen [Hardcover]

Is justification an elusive idealism? Or, does it guide us to make practical decisions and move our lives forward? In this book, Amartya Sen presents an alternative view to mainstream theories of fairness. Amartya Sen emphasized on how to create a completely or perfectly just society, how to reduce the level of injustice in the society without getting bogged down in the endless search. There may be differing opinions as to which of the various alternative conditions is more rational. Each of those competing views can have strong arguments. Rather than dismissing this plurality, a theory of justice can be employed to accommodate differing perspectives through open-ended reasoning. He clearly shows why principles of justice must avoid local narrowness. At the same time, he inspires us to deal with the important problem of global injustice.
