Organized Injustice: An Ontological Approach to the Question of Justice

Abstract

This paper argues that organized, systematic, and cultivated injustice like those faced by women in India or Blacks in America require different tools of analysis and social praxis than the liberal discourse which mainly relies on the juridical and the persuasive. Typically, the liberal stands on the outside of the problem and invites change; s/he is not part of the problem and implicitly assumes her/himself to be the eye of justice looking upon injustice.
