The first part focuses on justice, examining various theories of justice and arguing that justice is not simply a matter of following rules or laws, but rather involves treating individuals fairly and equitably. Benett also explores the role of justice in various social institutions, such as the family, the state, and the economy.The second part of the book focuses on happiness, exploring various theories of happiness and arguing that true happiness is not simply a matter of pleasure or material possessions, but rather involves living a meaningful and fulfilling life. Benett argues that a just society is one that promotes the conditions necessary for individual happiness, such as freedom, equality, and social harmony.Overall, Justice and Happiness is a thought-provoking exploration of two fundamental concepts in philosophy and social theory. It offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on the relationship between justice and happiness, and provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about what constitutes a just and happy society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
