Makroskopická perspektiva politické filosofie versus mikroskopická perspektiva empirie

Abstract

The following article focuses on issues of social justice. This text is divided into two mainparts. In the first one, I am concerned with the characteristic of the theory of social justice itself and with the main theoretical approaches of this theory – namely with egalitarianism, prioritarianismand (left) libertarianism. The second part is focused on an analysis of the electoral programs of political parties which were elected into the Czech parliament in the elections of 2010. The main point of this analysis is to locate and identify proclamations about social justice which can be related to theories of social justice. Through this analysis I want to demonstrate the possibility of theories of social justice as a way of explaining the political actions and the relation of political representation to social marginality.
