November 2009 Against Injustice: The New Economics of Amartya Sen, Cambridge University Press. 328p. ISBN-10: 0521899591 ISBN-13: 978-0521899598 8,435 [amazon]／［kinokuniya］ ■Contents From Amazon.co.jp Traditional theories of justice as formulated by political philosophers, jurists, and economists have all tended to see injustice as simply a breach of justice, a breakdown of the normal order. Amartya Sen’s work acts as a corrective to this tradition by arguing that we can recognise patent injustices, and come to a reasoned agreement about the need to remedy them, without reference to an explicit theory of justice. Against Injustice brings together distinguished academics from a variety of different fields --including economics, law, philosophy, and anthropology-- to explore the ideas underlying Sen’s critique of traditional approaches to injustice. The centerpiece of the book is the first chapter by Sen in which he outlines his conception of the relationship between economics, ethics, and law. The rest of the book addresses a variety of theoretical and empirical issues that relate to this conception, concluding with a response from Sen to his critics. ■Table of Contents List of figures PageVii List of tables Viii List of contributors ix Acknowledgements x Introduction 1 REIKO GOTOH AND DUMOUCHEL Paul Part I 37 1 Economics, law, and ethics 39 AMARTYA SEN 2 Neorepublicanism and Sen's economic, legal, and ethical desiderata 55 PHILIP PETTIT 3 The Prajâpati test: response to Amartya Sen 66 MARCEL HÉNAFF Part II 71 4 The power of a democratic public 73 PHILIP PETTIT 5 The challenge of gender justice 94 MARTHA C.
