Metamorphoses of the Idea of Social Justice. Part II: Social Justice as a Commutative Justice

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 the term “social justice”. The article focuses on the identity of this term with justice framed as: a commutative justice (in its varieties: retributive, restorative and justice of exchange). Some of these concepts assume the existence of some kind of social persons. The author, in inevitably approximate analyses, tries to show specificity of particular types of meanings assigned to the notion of “social justice”.
