Makale Özeti:

Some views of justice mainly the social contract model of Thomas Hobbes, and the
fairness model of Rawls may have failed to challenge and overcome the peculiar
ideological and value-laden character of an African environment, thus creating the
impetus for reconsideration. The social contract model of justice assumed that there
would be justice when people acting as rational agents accepted basic practices of
society that would assure their mutual advantage in the long run. The impartiality
or fairness model of justice, suggests the recognition of the intrinsic worth of
people as entities deserving of respect, whose interests should be maintained in the
interest of the overall common good. How do these theories apply to the African
condition? These issues will be the thrust of this paper as we argue that the two
models are not enough in solving the multifarious problems that Africa finds
herself. These will be examined succinctly in arguing for the latent solution
towards a sustainable social order that considers and puts everyone and the society
towards attaining justice and development.
