N.º 3 – A TEORIA IDEAL DA JUSTIÇA NUM MUNDO NÃO IDEAL

Starting from the distinction between ideal theory and nonideal theory, in this work, we will address the problem of the practical applicability of ideal-oriented political theories. In order to do this, we will start by analyzing the main arguments that call into question the applicability of ideal theory and consequently call into question its ineffectiveness in the task of finding achievable solutions for a fairer world. By analyzing several arguments stressed by several authors, we will discuss how ideal theory may prove to be effective to help design policies that can fight injustice, and what their potential limitations for this purpose are, which also implies the importance of understanding which relationship must be established between ideal and nonideal theory to carry out an effective theory of justice.
