Abstract

PEREIRA, Gustavo. Lifestyles And Justice. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2018, vol.67, n.167, pp.265-287. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v67n167.71974.

Now that the focus of reflection has shifted from ideal theories to the application of social justice, centered on the institutions of democratic societies, it is necessary to pay special attention to lifestyles, since they not only influence the realization of justice, but also have an effect on economic inequality and the availability of natural resources. In our societies, it is possible to place restrictions on lifestyles, especially in those cases in which, influenced by certain social dynamics, they disengage from conceptions of the good. The article argues that, in those cases, the normative base grounding the demand that lifestyles be respected is dissolved, thus justifying their restriction.

Keywords : democracy; lifestyles; justice.
