The adjustment of justice from the perspective of the theory of action

Abstract

This article aims to be a reflection that, from the theory of action, contributes to the study of the problem of justice, which can be immersed in a kind of conceptual crossroads as it is the object of study of both moral philosophy and political philosophy. The article reflects on two fundamental questions: the first revolves around the place of reflection that justice occupies in philosophy and the impossibility of defining it, because it is considered as a simple virtue, and any attempt at definition is framed in what George Moore called naturalistic fallacy. The second will attempt to discuss the theory of action, especially Hannah Arendt's proposal, with the theory of justice of John Rawls, so that it is possible to determine how the action of individuals allows the justice to be justified, but not to define it.
