BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTION
The problem of justice occupies a special place in contemporary political philosophy. In the words
of its most influential figure, Rawls, "justice is the first virtue of social institutions". That view seems
to be shared by a majority of authors and theories. However, there is no comparable agreement
regarding what justice demands, from whom and to whom. These questions have utmost relevance
for political philosophers. However, their importance spill over other disciplines. Given that many
choices policy makers make are distributive in nature, it is not surprising that issues of justice appear
in many other spheres. In addition to dealing with purely theoretical issues, the course will revise
some contexts which raise important questions about justice: education, health care, environmental
issues, taxation.
Applications are invited from graduate students, postdocs, young faculty in Philosophy, Political
Science, Public Policy, Law and Economics, familiar with Anglo-American political theory,
especially with theories of justice.
Central European University's summer school (CEU SUN), established in 1996, is a program in English for graduate
students, junior or post-doctoral researchers, teachers and professionals. It offers high-level, research-oriented, interdisciplinary
academic courses as well as workshops on policy issues for professional development, taught by internationally renowned scholars
and policy experts (including CEU faculty). Application from all over the world is encouraged. Financial aid is available.
Application deadline: February 15, 2013
