-
One of the writings we have among the communitarian critics
-
is by Michael Walzer.
-
He draws the implications of justice this way.
-
Justice is relative to social meanings.
-
A given society is just
-
if its substantive life is lived in a certain way,
-
in a way that is faithful
-
to the shared understandings of the members.
-
So Walzer's account seems to bear out
-
the worry that if we can't find independent principles of justice,
-
independent that is, from conceptions of the good
-
that prevail in any given community,
