Una nueva teoría de la justicia para el mundo real.
¿Es la justicia social un ideal fuera de nuestro alcance o una posibilidad real? Más allá del discurso intelectual, la idea de la justicia desempeña un importante papel en nuestras vidas. Amartya Sen ofrece una alternativa a las teorías convencionales de la justicia, que a pesar de sus muchos logros hace tiempo que dejaron atrás las realidades prácticas.
Desde la Ilustración, las teorías dominantes han tendido a ocuparse de identificar las disposiciones sociales perfectamente justas y definir la naturaleza de la sociedad perfecta. Sen, entregado a la reducción de la injusticia, centra su enfoque en los juicios comparativos de lo que es «más» o «menos» justo y en evaluar los méritos de ciertas instituciones e interacciones sociales.
En el núcleo de su reflexión subyace el respeto por las diferentes percepciones de la «sociedad justa». Muy distintas convicciones pueden ofrecer soluciones claras, directas y defendibles. La perspectiva de Sen, uno de los pensadores más influyentes de nuestra era, hace uso de esa pluralidad con el fin de construir una teoría de la justicia para el mundo moderno, capaz de absorber distintos puntos de vista y resolver las cuestiones de injusticia global.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Sen es uno de los grandes pensadores de nuestra era.»
The Times
«Leer Las razones de la justicia es como asistir a una clase magistral de razonamiento práctico. [...] Ésta es una obra monumental.»

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
