Besides considering classical theories of justice from Aristotle, Plato, Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Bible, and the Quran, Falcón y Tella reviews some of the modern ideas of justice advanced by legal philosophers of today. Among them are justice as fairness in the work of Rawls; the thinking of German philosopher Jügen Habermas; the theory of one of the leading exponents of Anglo-Saxon thought Ronald Dworkin, particularly his world renowned Taking Rights Seriously; and other figures and schools such as Nozick, Posner, Sadurski, Marxism, and feminist theories. Translated into English from La justicia como mérito, which was published by Marcial Pons, Madrid in 2014. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
