ABSTRACT
Even if there is some difference between the two concepts, in this chapter I will be using the terms for them interchangeably. The term ‘social justice’ has the advantage of being emotively more provocative than ‘distributive justice’. The latter, on the other hand, appears to be dull and dry. But it has the advantage over the former, like some other non-emotive, or emotively emaciated, terms for being more precise, or matter of fact, as Hume would put it.
