Let’s take: 1) two different theories of justice: justice1, justice2; 2) the question: ‘is right2 just1?’. Such a question calls into question justice1 appealing to a different theory of justice (justice2). Is it permissible to answer the question by making an appeal to a theory of justice (justice2) different from the theory called into question (justice1)? In other words, given two different theories of justice, is it possible to make a comparison between these theories to select the best theory?

Abstract

Let’s take: 1) two different theories of justice: justice1, justice2; 2) the question: ‘is right2 just1?’. Such a question calls into question justice1 appealing to a different theory of justice (justice2). Is it permissible to answer the question by making an appeal to a theory of justice (justice2) different from the theory called into question (justice1)? In other words, given two different theories of justice, is it possible to make a comparison between these theories to select the best theory?
