In this book the practical dimension of social justice is explained using the analysis and
discussion of a variety of well-known topics. These include: the relation between theory and
practice in normative political philosophy the issue of justice under uncertainty the
question of whether we can and should unmask social injustices by means of conspiracy theories
the issues of privacy and the right to privacy the issue of how certain psychological states
may affect our moral obligations in particular the obligation to treat others fairly and
finally the concepts of morality fairness and self-deception. The primary goal of the book is
to provide readers with an updated discussion of some important and practical social justice
issues. These issues are presented from a new perspective based on the author¿s research. It
is hoped that bringing these topics together in a single book will promote the emergence of new
insights and challenges for future research.Juha Räikkä is a professor at the Department of
