Democratically Grounded

“The biggest strength of this strand of social justice writing is the holistic vision of justice as a fundamental component of democratic citizenship. Starting with a vision of democracy that balances individual rights and responsibilities and that is premised upon upholding the common good helps us to see why social justice matters, for without this vision of justice, democratic life is impossible”.
