A Methodological Dialogue on Justice
Ensar Yılmaz
What the paper says
This paper analyzes the methodological perspectives of two great theorists, John Rawls and Amartya Sen, on the issue of justice. Rawls's justice as fairness and Sen's capability approach have an important place in contemporary moral and political theory. A fruitful methodological dialogue has developed between them over time in the context of justice. In this paper, we examine relevant arguments of this dialogue on their methodologies in dealing with the issue of justice. By doing this we draw attention to the emphasis of methodological issues in theorizing about justice because the methodological departing points of both Rawls and Sen are extremely critical on the formation of the substance of their distributive justice theories.
