Abstract

All revolutions and wars were conducted to build a just order, and both followers of the new deal vision and those who defended the old one wished to realize the idea. As a result, the logical concept of social justice appears to be extremely difficult. Considering all categories constituting a political discussion, the concept seems to be one of the most significant but obscure. That is why it should be considered as "truly disputable". The intensity of such a normatively neutral and non-justifying thesis is based on the conviction that no interpretation is better than any other. Its weakness also amounts to assuming that there exists a permanent disagreement within a political discourse, which, as experts say, would make the functioning of the society impossible. Therefore, the author presents his own suggestion of a complex and coherent definition that may be used as theoretical foundation for analyzing political deliberation on this disputable in its essence category.
