FASCIOLI ALVAREZ, Ana Carolina. Is family life relevant to social justice?. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2017, vol.66, n.163, pp.81-103. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v66n163.49543.

On the basis of the feminist critique of John Rawls and of Axel Honneth's theory of recognition, the paper suggests a broader liberal notion of social justice that reinstates the vital role of the relationships of love and care. It examines to what extent and in what sense family life constitutes a sphere of justice, in order to show that, in addition to external regulation, an evaluative approach of its internal relations is necessary, without neglecting the fact that virtues that go beyond justice are at stake in the family.

Keywords : A. Honneth; J. Rawls; family; feminism; justice; liberalism.
