Naomi Zack pioneers a new theory of justice starting from a correction of present oppressions. While today justice paradigm in political approach and associated fields begins from John Rawls’s 1970 Theory of Justice, Zack insists that what individuals in truth care about is not justice as a suitable, however oppression as a correctable ill. For a way to explain genuine injustice and the society in which it occurs, Zack reanimate Arthur Bentley’s key insight that government and law (or political life) is a continuous procedure of contending interest groups throughout society. Bentley’s essence enables a resolution of the contradiction in between formal legal equality for U.S. minorities and post-civil rights practical inequality. Simply law and unfair practice co-exist as a reality of political life. The correction of oppression in truth needs applicative justice, in a contrast between those who are dealt with unjustly with those who are dealt with justly, and the style of reliable measures to match such treatment. Zack’s theory of applicative justice offers an advanced reorientation of society’s pursuit of justice, seeking to reverse oppression in a practical and completely attainable way.
