Resources for the study of justice in education

We are heirs to a literature on justice, at once vast and distinguished. Hence treatments of the subject are chronically incomplete, one-sided in this way or that. Any potential starting point will exclude too much if taken as the sole starting point. Hence, it is wise to be ready, in due course, to follow multiple pathways through the literature. One can start historically, particularly with the ancients, working one's way up through the history of political theory. One can probe a key tradition such as that concerning natural law. One can seek out a survey of different types of justice — commutative, corrective, distributive, formative, reformative, retributive, social, etc. One can start with a seminal text — for instance, Plato's Republic or Rawls' Theory of Justice.
