Professor Nussbaum calls her work a "picture of who we are" in a world "more complicated, and interdependent, than philosophical theory has often acknowledged." But it may also be a map for navigating that complicated world in the pursuit of justice., Nussbaum's explication of the human and animal capabilities essential for lives of dignity sets a demanding, detailed, moral and political standard to strive for., ÝNussbaum¨ aims to widen the reach of Rawlsian theory by addressing questions it has thus far largely neglected, such as the role of distributive justice in international relations, the claims of disabled people and the moral status of nonhuman animals. Nussbaum's resourceful and imaginative exploration of Rawls's work displays a command of the longer tradition of political philosophy that matches and even surpasses that of Rawls, along with a notably richer sensitivity to the history and variety of constitutional arrangements. The result is a notable contribution to philosophical inquiry that merits the most careful study by all who try to think seriously about public policy. -- John Gray "The Nation" (06/05/2006), The task of the public intellectual is to ensure that important areas of common life (public policy, cultural activities, moral understandings, and so on) live up to the standards thoughtful reflection reveals.

Synopsis
Theories of social justice are necessarily abstract, reaching beyond theparticular and the immediate to the general and the timeless. Yet suchtheories, addressing the world and its problems, must respond to thereal and changing dilemmas of the day. A brilliant work of practicalphilosophy, Frontiers of Justice is dedicated to this proposition. Takingup three urgent problems of social justice neglected by current theoriesand thus harder to tackle in practical terms and everyday life, MarthaNussbaum seeks a theory of social justice that can guide us to aricher, more responsive approach to social co-operation., Theories of social justice, addressing the world and its problems, must respond to the real and changing dilemmas of the day. Taking up three urgent problems of social justice--those with physical and mental disabilities, all citizens of the world, and nonhuman animals--Nussbaum seeks a theory of social justice that can guide us to a richer, more responsive approach to social cooperation.
