ABSTRACT
These philosophical orientations might seem dense, incomprehensible, and irrelevant to the average person. The language of philosophy can be hard to understand and arguments sometimes seem convoluted, yet philosophers have established positions and arguments relevant to the questions we face every day. This chapter focuses on issues of justice. How can we live the good life? How can we make the right decisions? What is ultimately the fair way to deal with others? These philosophical questions, some of them hundreds of years old, remain important today.1
