Distributive Justice and Fair Exchange: How to find and use social standards - Paperback

by Emanuel Smikun (Author)

The book, Distributive Justice and Fair Exchange, evaluates theories of social justice of major classics of sociology and political science - Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx and Talcott Parsons. Connections are proposed with the ideologies of selfish individualism, egalitarian collectivism, liberal and social democracy. The problem of objectivity in social science is addressed using a method of sociological deconstruction and reconstruction. That includes a de-objectifying understanding of the classics, their de-subjectifying interpretation, re-subjectifying conceptualization and re-objectifying modeling.
