Young argues that addressing these structural injustices requires a new model of responsibility, which she calls the \"social connection\" model. She develops this idea by clarifying the nature of structural injustice; developing the notion of political responsibility for injustice and how it differs from older ideas of blame and guilt; and finally how we can then use this model to describe our responsibilities to others no matter who we are and where we live. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a foreward by Martha C. Nussbaum, this last statement by a revered and highly influential thinker will be of great interest to political theorists and philosophers, ethicists, and feminist and political philosophers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIris Marion Young\u003c\/strong\u003e [deceased] was Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago.
