Summary:

This book explores the evolving discourse on social justice, focusing on both the ends and means of achieving a just society. It examines historical and contemporary theories of justice, critiques the limitations of distributive justice, and advocates for an expansive conception of contributive justice. The authors analyze the role of violence, nonviolence, and constructive agency in social change, and propose a transition from contentious politics to collaborative frameworks. Drawing on insights from the Bahá'í Faith, the book highlights the importance of unity, gender equality, and the integration of diverse perspectives in building a just and peaceful global society.
