Desafios da justiça social em Moçambique: uma reflexão a partir de John Rawls

Abstract

This scientific monograph is entitled "Challenges of Social Justice in Mozambique: A Reflection Based on John Rawls." The methodology used in this work is textual hermeneutics. Thus, the works of this author and his interpreters were analyzed and interpreted. The method used to gather information was bibliographic research of previously selected works. In Rawls, the conception of justice as fairness has objectives and ideas centered on a philosophical ideal of constitutional democracy. Rawls reflects on equitable justice, and his great merit was to construct a theory of justice that is attentive to the values of freedom and equality, which are important and fundamental in human life and coexistence in society. We believe that in the case of Mozambique, we conclude that the theory of justice as fairness would be a better proposal through which Mozambican families could see their living conditions improved. But for this to happen, it is necessary to put into practice the second principle of justice, which considers that economic and social inequalities are advantageous only if they result in compensating benefits for all and, in particular, for the most disadvantaged members of society.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
