Under what conditions it is illegitimate? What makes the difference between law and justice? What is political justice? Thinking on these issues the author addresses the tradition of political philosophy; this tradition originates in European Enlightenment. Не engages in dialog with such classical authors as J.Bentham and K.Marx, T.Hobbes and J.Locke, J.-J.Rousseau and I.Kant, D.Hume and J.S.Mill. Among the political thinkers of the 20-th century who participate in this dialog are V.Pareto, J.Rawls, A.MacIntyre, R.Dworkin, M.Sandel, R.Nozick, Ch.Taylor, M.Walzer, W.Kymlicka.

Recognizing the justice and democracy sometimes pull in opposite directions, he shows why and how they can and should be mutually reinforcing. In part I, published in the last issue, he defends the ideal of democratic justice as a subordinate good, intended to shape the terms of human interaction without thereby determining their course. He argues that this involves structuring the power-dimensions of social life to maximize participation in decision-making while minimizing unnecessary hierarchy. In part II, published here, he explores tensions internal to his account of democratic justice and its implications for the role of the state.
