- Title
All Justice is Social but it's not all Social Justice.
- Authors
Wolterstorff, Nicholas
- Abstract
I take social injustice to be injustice perpetrated on members of society by laws and public social practices. I take social justice to be the struggle to right social injustice. After explaining these ideas, I then address the question: why are so many people opposed to the very idea of social justice? I offer a number of explanations, among them, that to acknowledge that there is social injustice in one's society often requires considerable change on one's part.
