“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”
Martin Luther King
Inspired by this thought, the Justice Everywhere blog explores issues of justice and ethics in all areas of public, political, social, economic, and personal life. It believes that moral issues arise, essentially, ‘everywhere’ and that reasonable, constructive debate can help clarify the nature and dimensions of such issues and how to address the problems they present. Accordingly, it provides a public forum for discussion of what justice, morality, and ethics ask of us and for encouraging better application of these principles in social policy, public life, and personal action.
Justice Everywhere posts about any aspect of ethical life and public policy arising in either the domestic or global domain, considered from any theoretical perspective. Posts are designed to be succinct and accessible to a broad audience. They consider topics presently under debate in current political and social affairs, either ‘hot topics’ or ongoing large-scale questions, and focus on exploring the central moral threads in these issues, seeking to delineate the crucial fault-lines of debate, and to outline ideas on the direction policy or action should move.
