Summary/Abstract: In the 1840’s, due to Luigi Taparelli and Antonio Rosmini, the term of “social justice” emerged. Since that time, its meaning has developed in many ways. In the literature of the subject, one can find numerous identifications of “social justice”. This paper brings up some applications of the notion. The author, in inevitably approximate analyses, tries to show the specificity of particular types of meanings assigned to the notion of “social justice”. The article focuses on the identity of this term with justice framed as a legal and distributive justice.
