Abstract

The debate around justice has been gaining ground in Geography, especially from the 1970s, with two seminal works, A theory of justice (Rawls, 1971), in Political Philosophy, and, in geography, Social Justice and the City (Harvey, 1973). From this moment, and without pretension of exhaustivity, we propose a journey through the debates between several theories and principles of justice. As a lot of processes analyzed in Geography – such as segregation, marginalization, exclusion, differentiation – reveals injustices with a strong spatial expression, this reflection about justice offers theoretical and analytical tools for geographical analyses. In other terms, it is an intent to establish the outlines of this debate, to contribute to the understanding of the opening of geography to philosophical and ethics concerns. In that respect, we aim at presenting a large vision of justice, around the tripod redistribution, recognition, and space, to finish with considerations about the concept of spatial justice.
