Dear Colleagues!
This letter is to inform you about the special section of the fourth issue of 2027 of the journal “RUDN Journal of Philosophy”.
Special section of the fourth issue of 2027: “Justice in a Changing World: Philosophical Aspects”
The editorial board of the RUDN Journal of Philosophy invites authors to participate in a special section devoted to the philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of justice. The issue is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027.
The section is dedicated to the analysis of the concept of justice as one of the key values of human existence, as well as to a reconsideration of its content in the context of contemporary social, political, technological, and environmental transformations. We invite discussion on the ontological, epistemological, ethical, and socio-philosophical foundations of justice, its historical evolution, contemporary interpretations, and projected scenarios for its realization in the future.
Considering the philosophical aspects of the problem of justice, several groups of questions requiring philosophical reflection can be identified:
- The essence and definition of justice: questions related to the search for universal and culturally specific characteristics of justice, its relationship with the concepts of equality, law, freedom, and the good, as well as a critical reassessment of classical theories of justice (from Aristotle to J. Rawls) in the light of contemporary challenges.
- Epistemological and methodological aspects of justice: the problem of the cognizability of a just social order, the role of scientific knowledge and expert communities in its justification, as well as the question of the possibility of objective criteria for justice in the context of a plurality of value systems.
- Socio-philosophical and ethical implications of justice in the context of global changes: issues related to the rethinking of the principles of justice in the context of digitalization, artificial intelligence, biotechnologies, climate change, migration processes, and growing social inequality. Within this area of research, it is proposed to critically examine the prospects for intergenerational, global, and environmental justice, as well as the role of justice as a regulator of social interaction and a foundation for sustainable development.
