The importance of justice cannot be overstated. As one author has put it, "A better understanding of how justice concerns develop and function in people's lives should enable us to plan more effectively for institutional and other social change to deal with the problems that confront humankind" (S. C. Lerner, 1981, p. 466). The volume in which that statement appeared-an earlier one in this same series-was devoted to exploring the impact that dwindling resources and an increasing rate of change have had upon people's concern for justice. In contrast, the present volume places greater emphasis on the word under standing, as it was used in the context of the preceding quotation, than upon effective planning, social change, and ways of dealing with human problems. Nothing in that statement of purpose is meant to belittle the urgency of translat ing understanding into action, because the social significance of justice concerns is a major factor that has prompted the authors of the chapters in this book to do research in the area. Rather, this volume receives its emphasis from Kurt Lewin's famous dictum there is nothing so practical as a good theory. The need for good theory is ongoing, and these pages are dedicated to a search for new pathways toward better theory.

The sense of injustice is not so predominant in Mendelssohn's work. This alternative view of morality, happiness, and human interaction is the basis for a contemporary reflection inspired by Jonathan Lear's and Harry Frankfurt's works; a reflection that aims at countering the effects of the sense of injustice by acknowledging others' necessary and positive contribution to our moral development and happiness. Rousseau suggests in Emile the existence of primitive affections yielding to a sense that arises from the misperception of another person's intention: "the feeling of an alleged injustice." This is the sense of injustice, the key concept for my thesis. Although Rousseau does not define the sense of injustice and elaborate on its nature, he intimates that this sense is a settled disposition to imagine that other people have bad intentions toward me and to feel resentment toward everybody; and that this sense thwarts our moral development. How can the sense of injustice be characterized further? My thesis aims to specify the sense of injustice's nature through an analysis of the role this concept plays in Rousseau's and Kant's conceptions of morality and happiness. Indeed Rousseau's and Kant's conceptions of morality and happiness actually derive from the sense of injustice. Much can therefore be learned from them on the sense of injustice's nature; and this is the reason I turn to them in this thesis. Rather than starting from scratch, I examine these philosophers' thought so as to develop a "theory" of the sense of injustice. The ideal of self-sufficiency is the sense of injustice's most important effect. My thesis is therefore essentially dedicated to the analysis of this ideal. Rousseau and Kant assume that it is a fact that others want to acquire superiority over us and that we are therefore justified in taking the necessary means to prevent others from acquiring superiority over us. Self-sufficiency is their answer to this problem. I believe, however, that the tendency to perceive bad intentions explains why we think others want to acquire superiority over us and attempt, in turn, to gain superiority over others or keep others at a distance.

How can we distinguish between injustice and misfortune? What can we learn from the victims of calamity about the sense of injustice they harbor? In this book a distinguished political theorist ponders these and other questions and formulates a new political and moral theory of injustice that encompasses not only deliberate acts of cruelty or unfairness but also indifference to such acts. Judith N. Shklar draws on the writings of Plato, Augustine, and Montaigne, three skeptics who gave the theory of injustice its main structure and intellectual force, as well as on political theory, history, social psychology, and literature from sources as diverse as Rosseau, Dickens, Hardy, and E. L. Doctorow. Shklar argues that we cannot set rigid rules to distinguish instances of misfortune from injustice, as most theories of justice would have us do, for such definitions would not take into account historical variability and differences in perception and interest between the victims and spectators. From the victim's point of view--whether it be one who suffered in an earthquake or as a result of social discrimination--the full definition of injustice must include not only the immediate cause of disaster but also our refusal to prevent and then to mitigate the damage, or what Shklar calls passive injustice. With this broader definition comes a call for greater responsibility from both citizens and public servants. When we attempt to make political decisions about what to do in specific instances of injustice, says Shklar, we must give the victim's voice its full weight. This is in keeping with the best impulses of democracy and is our only alternative to a complacency that is bound to favor the unjust.
