Contributive Justice: A Shared Horizon for the Renewal of American Life

October 16 @ 7:00 pm

Across many lines of perceived difference, we share a sense of turmoil. But efforts for change pull in different directions, sometimes undercutting each other and further eroding social cohesion. In their recently published book Rethinking Social Justice, Michael Karlberg and Derik Smith take up two fundamental questions: What ends should we aspire to as a society, and what means are most effective for pursuing them? In addressing the question of ends, the authors identify a shared horizon that diverse traditions of thought all orient toward contributive justice—the creation of social conditions that allow every individual and group to develop their capacities to contribute meaningfully to collective flourishing. This conversation will engage authors and audience.

We will explore how a reorientation toward contributive justice, together with the exercise of constructive agency, could help transcend factionalism, galvanize a sense of common purpose, and foster the spiritual renewal of American life.
