The Idea of Justice (TIJ) by Amartya Sen appears as a proposal both to understand and defend global justice far from theories of justice supported on social contracts and transcendental institutional notions. The book can be regarded as a systematic attempt to show us how pertinent traditional social choice theory (from Condorcet to Arrow) can be in order to develop a strong notion of justice that does not require neither a monolithic perspective nor a single institutional formulation. A. Sen propounds us to take care of patent injustices though we do not have a theory of justice, and even if we do not share central elements to this theory of justice. It is a real challenge for standard position in moral philosophy.
