In a precise language, but without jargon and carried by constant attention to the concrete problems, this dictionary explores the values which form our ideals of justice and the sometimes contradictory aspirations which guide them. It brings to light the mechanisms, behaviors, and mechanisms that generate injustice, as well as the means, proven or more exploratory, to remedy them. Faced with the multiple changes that our societies are experiencing and the processes that accompany globalization, the need for such an instrument, transdisciplinary and as exhaustive as possible, has become obvious.
Offering nearly 250 entries written by 170 researchers, French and foreign, from all fields (philosophy, economics, sociology, social psychology, geography, political science, literature, art history, etc.), this unique dictionary the concern with intimately associating the normative analysis and the knowledge of social facts, restores the vast field of themes, questions, and approaches essential to the understanding of what is – and from where – social justice.
