Abstract

This paper is a survey of the main modern theories of justice in the tradition of moral and political philosophy: welfarism, the theories developed by Rawls, Dworkin, Sen, Roemer, and Fleurbaey as well as theories based on an intuitive or a more procedural approach. We explain principles of justice put forth by each theory, as well as individual's relevant characteristics that are considered. The approach outlined can be used to clarify public policies, taking account of the redistributive impact of their actions.
