Abstract

This paper discusses the impact of the social science deficiencies on formation of a comprehensive SOCIAL JUSTICE theory. The ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT introduced a new concept of society and social science based on rationalism. This project introduced a new perception of rationality independent of the historical and social background and independent of any perception of human nature or goal. Nevertheless, moral concepts are not timeless and invariant, that is, they cannot be defined and understood free from their own history or Social Context. Moral concepts that form the foundations of our understanding of a well-established and just society should be studied historically and understood vis-a-vis their cultural or social, context. Nevertheless, not only the promises of the ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT were not fulfilled, but this project is now held to have been fundamentally faulty and deficient and its promises being futile. Hence, the modern political and moral thought has been in a perplexed and confused state.social knowledge stemmed from the ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT has established the CULTURE OF SOCIOLOGY that after three centuries is faced with fundamental challenges. These challenges indicate structural deficiencies in dominant social knowledge that in turn constrain the capacity to form a comprehensive moral theory is an absolute necessity for a comprehensive SOCIAL JUSTICE theory, a theory that is robust in relation to the relativity of time and place.Social justice theories based on the Enlightenment knowledge can be classified into two general categories; egoistic (or individualistic) and socially oriented ones. The former is based on the concept of individual as a unit of moral interests and concerns. In this perception the sanctity of individual life and respect of his or her dignity is recognized based on moral equality of human beings. In this sense, this category of SOCIAL JUSTICE theory is considered individualistic. The second category of SOCIAL JUSTICE theories considers individuals bound in a committed relationship through which its social nature is formed. This committed relationship produces duties the members of the relationship owe to the collectivity. These duties in turn guarantee rights that meet the members' intersts. Deficiencies of individualistic and holistic methodologies are among the other obstacles to the formation of a comprehensive SOCIAL JUSTICE theory.
