Summary:

Justice, Humanity, and Social Toleration develops the concept of normative justice as setting human affairs right in accordance with the principles of human rights, human goods, and human bonds. Defending the ideas of global justice and modernity, Xunwu Chen explores social toleration and democracy as embodiments of normative justice in our time. By giving equal emphasis to normative justice as distributive justice and corrective justice, Chen shifts the paradigm of understanding justice in general and the paradigm for a new view on global justice in particular. The discourse on global justice is furthered by the context of Eastern-Western dialogues. Justice, Humanity, and Social Toleration is a stimulating work for professionals and both graduate and undergraduate students of philosophy and political theory.
