Abstract

En 中文
This essay examines the role of action-guiding theorists of justice in articulating the demands of justice. Section I discusses challenges that theorists face from epistemic and social complexity. Section II considers the idea of theorists of justice thinking of theories as maps that help them (or citizens) navigate their way out of ignorance of social facts and complexity. This part puts in one place leading accounts of moral theorizing as mapmaking by David Schmidtz and Linda Zagzebski. Section III both refines extant discussion of theorizing as mapmaking and develops a novel account of the role of theorists. Section IV explores multi-level theorizing about justice as a kind of theorizing that goes beyond guiding action either non-theoretically, based largely on intuitions, or theoretically, based on highly abstract principles of justice.
