Abstract
Rainer Forst's work puts forward an ambitious and original critical theory of justice. It combines elements from the work of John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas's discourse ethics, and Kant's moral theory, together with an attempt to redefine the meaning of social oppression in the spirit of Frankfurt School critical theory. Its core concept, “the right to justification,” seeks to account simultaneously for the deontological basis of social justice as a matter of human dignity
