Abstract

The article "Justice and the Politics of Feminist Philosophy" by Mary Hawkesworth discusses Iris Marion Young's groundbreaking work in reconfiguring justice through insights from feminism, Black liberation, LGBTQ mobilizations, and other social movements. Young's critique of mainstream philosophy and her distinction between the politics of identity and identity politics shed light on the complexities of social hierarchies and the need for collective action to address oppression and domination. Her work challenges traditional conceptions of justice and advocates for participatory democracy and collective self-determination to combat systemic inequities and foster social transformation.
