Justice is regarded as being the crucial yardstick for human behaviour. There is consequently
an expectation or a demand that decisions should be taken fairly and justly in the widest
variety of contexts in professional and private life  as well as in relation to social
responsibilities. The same facts should not be measured by different standards  no one should
be discriminated against because of natural characteristics such as race  gender or appearance
fundamental human rights should be recognized unreservedly all over the world  and in the
spirit of intergenerational justice  we should behave in a sustainable fashion and not live at
the expense of later generations. This volume initially demonstrates that we are only able to
live up to such requirements to a limited extent  and shows how the contradictions involved
come about. Major reasons for this include using standards of justice that go back as far as
the Stone Age  inadequate knowledge of economic and social interrelationships  and also
one-sided information. In addition  it is only rarely that an individual=s own understanding of
justice is concretely articulated  and this stands in the way of consistent argumentation from
the outset. In conclusion  on the basis of the available scientific findings  this monograph
outlines ways of overcoming the contradictions mentioned and arriving at more just decisions.
