The primary aim of this course is to help students develop a set of tools for thinking about justice. We will do this by examining a range of subjects, from criminal justice to distributive justice to the circumstances of war and peace and others. We will consider issues such as abortion, the criminalization of behavior, the death penalty, justice in sexual relationships, surrogate motherhood, global poverty, civil disobedience, and international conflict. We will also discuss the justice or injustice of legal and political systems in their entirety and a range of responses to systemic injustice
