Document Summary

Compare different kinds of views and provide examples from. Whole course focused on what is justice? . We have a basic elementary framework where we decide that democracy and the majority is certainly never always right nor would it be just to force a minority to go along with whatever the majority says. We presuppose voluntary agreement because this is what makes people moral agents. Moral agents: sub class of human beings who are capable of engaging in action. Things can only be unjust when they involve another moral agent. There is an injustice when someone does not hold up their end of the agreement and still takes what they no longer have a right to because they broke the agreement. You only have duties when you have an agreement between moral agents. Minimal property rights are required for mutual recognition of moral agents in agreements.
