Justice
Working Conference: March 2007
Most contemporary philosophical
approaches to justice focus on institutions and the political
procedures that are necessary to confer legitimacy on governmental
structures. Little explicit attention is given to the question
of whether it is necessary to ground such procedures in
anything more fundamental.
In March 2007, IASC hosted a symposium of international
scholars to focus attention on this question, through the
lens of IASC Senior Fellow Nicholas Wolterstorff’s
forthcoming book, Justice: Rights and Wrongs (Princeton
University Press). Participants came from a variety
of disciplines and included Richard Bernstein (The New
School for Social Research), Sarah Coakley (Harvard
Divinity School), Russell Hittinger (University
of Tulsa), Oliver O’Donovan (University
of Edinburgh), Charles Reid (University
of St. Thomas), Miroslav Volf (Yale Divinity
School), Chris Eberle (U.S. Naval Academy),
and Paul Weithman (University of Notre
Dame).
