The concept of justice in the understanding of D. Rawls and O. Heffe
This article discusses in detail the views of J. Rawls and O. Heffe on justice in the socio-philosophical context. In modern times, both authors have touched upon the problem of justice quite sharply, proposing new approaches to the consideration of this topic. According to J. Rawls, justice is nothing less than honesty, which is the basis for the construction of human society. The authors paid particular attention to an analysis of J. Rawls’s fundamental work, A Theory of Justice. On the other hand, O.Hoeffe argues that a sense of justice in a certain social group is formed because of the scarcity of material resources, distinguishing between personal and institutional justice. But both authors come to the idea that without the assertion of justice in civil society, the existence of modern social institutions is impossible.
