Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
"Structural injustices" has become an important concept in political philosophy. It is used to analyse phenomena as wide-ranging as homelessness, the gender pay gap, incarceration rates amongst ethnic minorities. But what exactly *is* structural injustice? And who is responsible for perpetuating or remedying it?We will approach these questions by reading and thinking about Iris Marion Young's seminal work on the topic, in particular her book "Responsibility for Justice". But we will also look at different ways of theorising structural injustice (including by Sally Haslanger) and how to apply it to various phenomena. Finally, we will consider questions of responsibility.
