| Popis: | The complexities of how justice comes to be realized, and bywhich agents, is a relatively neglected element in contem-porary theories of justice. This has left several crucial ques-tions about agency and justice undertheorized, such as whysome particular agents are responsible for realizing justice,how their contribution towards realizing justice should beunderstood, and what role agents such as activists and com-munity leaders play in realizing justice. We aim to contributetowards a better understanding of the landscape of thesekinds of questions. First, we argue that theorists should dis-tinguish between (i) agents who are responsible for realizingjustice, but not committed to it, (ii) agents who are not re-sponsible for realizing justice, but who are committed to it,and (iii) agents who are both responsible for and committedto realizing justice. Second, we discuss how to incorporateagents of justice more robustly into theorizing about justice. |
