Abstract

The article discusses the critique of the distributive paradigm from author and philosopher Iris Marion Young. The author cites the broad lines that were developed from philosophical thinking about justice. One could call the first line a focus on distributive justice, while the other on political justice. The author stated that the most important characteristic of Young's critique is its double-sidedness, not only does the distributive paradigm misinterpret significant aspects of justice and turn questions of rights and power into questions of the distribution of goods, it also fails to meet the heart of the matter of distribution itself.
