Shukūh-i jān-i ādamī: ṭarḥī ijmālī va kullī az ʻadālat-i ijtimāʻī

Authored by the prominent Iranian philosopher Muṣṭafá Malikīyān, Shukūh-i jān-i ādamī : ṭarḥī ijmālī va kullī az ʻadālat-i ijtimāʻī offers a structured examination of the concept of social justice. Malikīyān argues that while compassion lends beauty to the human spirit, it is justice that provides it with true splendor. This second edition delves into the fundamental meanings of the term "justice" and categorises its various social forms. The text rigorously distinguishes between the often-confused concepts of equality and justice and analyses the interplay between justice and utility. Furthermore, Malikīyān explores whether the practice of justice is primarily an individual virtue or a societal duty, providing a concise yet profound framework for understanding one of the most vital issues in contemporary political and ethical thought.
