REFLECTIONS ON JUSTICE UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF GLOBALISATION

This paper deals with the need to change the way in which we consider justice in connection with globalisation. It analyses injustice in countries with developed capitalism, employing the work of Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser. The paper highlights the importance of using “critical theory” in relation to developing an acceptable understanding of the term justice, and using “critical theory” in conjunction with Hans Herbert Kögler’s “philosophical hermeneutics”. In order to adequately investigate contemporary human civilization it is necessary to enrich our knowledge by investigating “civilisational analysis” (Johann P. Arnason).
