In an effort to move from the familiar sphere of economics into the adjoining areas of legal and ethical philosophy, Amartya Sen has recently published The Idea of Justice (2010), a substantial albeit not fully systemmatic treatise on the elusive subject of the presence or absence of justice in this world of ours. The previous milestone which Sen had to come to terms with was of course the work of John Rawls (A Theory of Justice, 1971), whose lines of thought Sen rejects as "transcendental", aiming by contrast at an approach self-described as socially pragmatic while being in fact consistently ideological (opposing the liberistic and individualistic crusade of Dworkin and Nozick as well). Sen argues for a case-by-case removal of each and all imbalances and discriminations which underprivileged people suffer from, as against the well-being of other people in a globalized world. This analysis, impressive in itself, appears to amount not so much to an idea of justice but rather to what might paradoxically be constructed as a "theory of injustice".
