BLANCO BROTONS, FRANCISCO. SOCIAL ONTOLOGY AND JUSTICE SEEKING A BROAD BASIS FOR GLOBAL JUSTICE. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2021, vol.70, n.177, pp.67-92.  Epub Sep 28, 2021. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v70n177.75338.

One of Rawls' main contributions was his conception of justice as something predicable of the social structure. Justice, according to him, is the first virtue of the basic structure. The thesis defended in this article is that, if we want a theory of justice applicable to our globalizing world, we have to develop a conception of the social structure different to the one contemplated by Rawls. With this aim, we will discuss the shortcomings of the social ontology of Rawls to achieve justice appropriate to our globalizing world and will propose, following Nancy Fraser and Iris Marion Young, a more appropriate alternative to the reality we live today.

Keywords : I. M. Young; J. Rawls; N. Fraser; social structure; globalization.
