Justice and Judgement

Introducing theories of judgement in contemporary political and moral philosophy, this book offers a critical examination of judgement and normative validity in the recent works of Rawls, Habermas, Ackerman, Michelman and Dworkin, including an historical overview of the judgement model in contemporary political philosophy; the function of the constitution; and deliberative democracy. The book concludes with a discussion of universalism and contemporary liberalism; and the judgement view of justice.
