Distributive Justice Interactive Web Site
The Distributive Justice Interactive Web Site takes an interdisciplinary and cross-national look at concepts of justice and fairness. The site, which as been developed over the course of several years, includes games, interviews, statistics and more. Requires shockwave flash to play properly. As the developers describe it,
Distributive justice is not only a central issue of moral and political philosophy, but also an object of common-sense moral reasoning. Everyone is sensitive to the question of his/her share of the common good. Even those who get the best peace of the social pie are in need to justify the actual model of distribution. It has become a truism that most people (especially in the transition countries) experience their own social position as "unjust", relying on certain intuitive principles of distributive justice. Multidisciplinary project "Distributive Justice" is a work in progress designed by people with different backgrounds (art, philosophy, sociology, photography, design, programing). The project deals with the topic of distribution of goods in a society.
