Brief outline of the essay on:

Development a theory of Justice


The essay will primarily seek to understand the idea of justice and
justice as fairness as being the locus of the notion of
development. The essay will briefly discuss and trace the quantum
jump that the notion of development took with the idea of justice as
discussed by John Rawls in 1970s. The essay will seek to contrast
Rawls proposition with regard to justice with that of Sens in a
limited manner. This comparison can be hoped to be helpful in
tracing Sens framework of the capability approach and its
consequent
influence
on
contemporary
discourse
around
development including concerns with the measurement of the same.
By contrasting Sens ideas with those of Rawls one can also hope to
understand the kind of conceptual differences that arise with the
development of ideas development and progress.
