Inhalte:
The course begins with a general overview of the problems faced by contemporary societies in sustaining relationships of domination grounded in social inequalities and social justice perceptions. The concept of legitimation is presented as pivotal for these problems and subsequently its theoretical basis is unfolded. Following the theories of legitimacy, the framework of empirical social justice is presented as a program focused on what individuals judge as fair in society. To this end, different theories of social justice are examined in the light of empirical findings on how perceptions of justice are a central part of the legitimation mechanisms. The course emphasizes the discussion of empirical research that addresses different domains of the legitimation of social inequalities.
