The Rational Society and the Problem of Justice
Journal Title: Eskiyeni - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 36
Abstract
This study examines the relationship between social goodwill and real justice. The object of this goodwill is firstly the society and then the state. Society and the state are two essential facts and concepts that necessarily contain each other. In modern Islamic societies, it is felt a lack of the situation which the object of goodwill is correctly selected. This fact makes it difficult for the Middle East to establish the justice which has temporal and material conditions. Because the justice is a social order which contain norm and validity. In this context, it is confirmed that the term of Circle of Justice in Ottoman Empire and contemporary theories of which contain the social justice theory originated from Continental Europe and the liberal philosophical justice theory originated from United States of America are co-functional. Within this scope, the philosophers who studied about the circle of justice and some contemporary philosophers of politics such as Hannah Arendt and Jurgen Habermas and John Rawls and Bernard Williams and Ronald Dworkin have expressed the same social truth. Without the idea of an order, it is impossible to gain the real justice. Those who have been living in the Middle East seem to be distant from this social truth because of the process of the glocalization.
