Comment un philosophe ou un théoricien aborde-t-il une question en philosophie politique ? À quel exercice de la pensée se prête-t-il pour régler les problèmes bien réels et souvent très complexes qui se présentent à lui ? Pour l'auteur de cette introduction à la philosophie politique, l'investigation des concepts et des intuitions ainsi que le développement du sens critique sont des étapes nécessaires à la compréhension des principaux débats qui nous occupent encore aujourd'hui. Dans ce livre, il s'agit donc de présenter des questions, mais aussi des théories. Christian Nadeau y traite de justice et de démocratie à travers le prisme de l'argumentation philosophique. Peut-on concevoir la démocratie comme un obstacle à la justice ? Est-ce que la démocratie est par définition juste et ne peut donc donner lieu qu'à des décisions justes ? Ces problématiques, comme celles de la liberté, des conflits sociaux, du pluralisme sont disséquées à la lumière du débat contemporain et des différentes approches théoriques. Finalement, au-delà des questions politiques soulevées, le lecteur trouvera dans la singularité de cet ouvrage toutes les bases d'une initiation à la philosophie, qui lui permettront d'élaborer sa propre réflexion sur les sujets qui l'intéressent.

Justice is a human virtue that is at once unconditional and conditional. Under favorable circumstances, we can be motivated to act justly by the belief that we must live up to what justice requires, irrespective of whether we benefit from doing so. But our will to act justly is subject to conditions. We find it difficult to exercise the virtue of justice when others regularly fail to. Even if we appear to have overcome the difficulty, our reluctance often betrays itself in certain moral emotions. In this book, Jiwei Ci explores the dual nature of justice, in an attempt to make unitary sense of key features of justice reflected in its close relation to resentment, punishment, and forgiveness. Rather than pursue a search for normative principles, he probes the human psychology of justice to understand what motivates moral agents who seek to behave justly, and why their desire to be just is as precarious as it is uplifting., A wide-ranging treatment of enduring questions, The Two Faces of Justice can also be read as a remarkably discerning contribution to the Western discourse on justice re-launched in our time by John Rawls.
