Injusticias convergentes: asistencia de investigación en el Grupo Fray Bartolomé de las Casas

Abstract

Some important contemporary theories of justice come to the conclusion that a just society must be built from principles formulated in ideal situations of deliberation, as is the case of John Rawls in his book A theory of Justice (1971) . Taking into account the influence that Rawls has had on contemporary political thought and especially in relation to political justice, it is necessary to understand his philosophy even in order to go beyond it. This text, then, intends to serve as a theoretical foundation to understand more clearly “the traditional academic understandings of justice” —in this case Rawls’s — that are raised in the objectives of the project, in addition to serving as support to the group through assistance activities such as the transcripts of the interviews with Museo Q and the sessions of the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Group.
