Global justice propositions and the moral duty to tackle global poverty

Abstract

Justice is opposed to the laws of Socrates, which is equality in Aristotle. It means the organization of the powers of the soul at Plato. The public benefit is the original and only source of justice at Hume. It means happiness at Bentham and vice versa. From the contractual theories of Locke, Russo and Kant, we find that the American philosopher John Rawls designed his theory of justice to apply to the infrastructure of society based on the principle of equality and the regulation of social inequality
