  1. Plaisance, Ch. 4 “Justice”

  2. Concepts of Justice • Justice based on what is deserved (treatment based on merit) • Justice based on need • Justice based on equality • Justice as fairness • John Rawls

  3. Feminist criticisms of Rawls • Benhabib: “We can aspire to Rawl’s ‘universal’ notion of justice, but it must be supplemented by an emphasis on caring for others by acknowledging the realities of individual lives” • Male centered: concern for fairness fails to address the female sphere of domestic relations and children

  4. Feminist critique continued • Public sphere has priority; domestic sphere is devalued • Fails to address the importance of relationships

  5. Examples for discussion • Deporting Children • Holding ISPs responsible for 3d party postings • Labeling a person as an “enemy combatant” and subsequent treatment • Corporate spending to support/defeat political candidates
