Lecture Title: "Resources in Ideal Theory"
Contact Name: Valerie Wallace
Contact E-mail: vwallace@uchicago.edu
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Abstract: Ideal theory is the attempt to provide an account of the ideal or fully just political community. This project is of central importance to political philosophy because the ideal of a fully just society provides the goal towards which justice demands we move if we can. In this paper I criticize the view held by John Rawls and others that scarcity, an insufficiency of material resources necessary for meeting the aims of the political community, serves as the necessary backdrop against which justice must be understood. On the contrary, I argue that for the purposes of ideal theory we must suppose that the resources available to the political community are sufficient for it to achieve its aims. I situate this criticism of Rawls in a more general project of undermining the foundations of one strand of liberal theory according to which the function of justice, at the most basic level, is the fair arbitration of conflict.
