The understanding of the nature of self-respect entails an analysis of the profound centrality of its emotional dimensions in the sociopolitical context of human life. Recognition self-respect and evaluative self-respect involve elements, such as shame, pride and resentment. However, this understanding fails to explain the anomalous emotions in women, which emanate from damage to self-respect at the basal level in patriarchical societies. Basal perceptions of self and worth are defined by the sociopolitical climate that seeks to elevate self-respect from a personal to a social responsibility.

Distributive justice: what the people think

Article Abstract:

A survey of research on beliefs about justice shows, among other things, that desert plays a greater role in popular thinking about justice than in political theory. In addition, people's conceptions of justice are context-dependent. Once the social context is agreed on, there will be general agreement about what is fair within that context. This suggests that theories of justice are grounded in sociology, whether explicitly stated or not. Theorists who believe the whole notion of justice is misguided must take into account that people have definite concepts of what a just society would be.
