In his book, The Idea of Justice, Amartya Sen presents a criticism of what he calls «the transcendental theory of justice». There he argues that transcendental theories play an irrelevant role in identifying the right choices to fight injustice in a non-ideal world. In this work we explore a possible relationship of compatibility between the comparative approach sponsored by Sen and a minimal framework of global justice that would play a role in constraining the comparative process in order to avoid path-dependent choices that bring about institutional scenarios that are incompatible with the conceptions of justice that generated the original evaluations.
