Join Us for The Philosopher's Yard Meetup: Exploring "Justice & Fairness"

In this session, we turned our attention to Justice & Fairness: How would you define justice and fairness? Does being fair always mean treating everyone the same, or is it sometimes fairer to help some people more than others? When you hear the word justice, what does it mean to you in everyday life? Should upbringing or luck affect what someone is entitled to or how they are treated? How would we set up society if we wanted no one to be treated unfairly or unjustly? Here is a full list of questions.

This meetup featured a short talk from Sara Blake-Sealey (click here to see the presentation), a Philosophy and Sociology student, exploring how critical thought about human behaviour and society can be applied in practice. Building on this interdisciplinary training, she hopes to pursue a career in law, studying ethics, equality, and the social institutions that shape opportunities. In her pressentation, Sara will introduce John Rawls’ theory of "justice as fairness", challenging us to consider what a truly just & fair society might look like.

Our beautiful community

Our participants were incredibly insightful and all the conversations went perfectly. Sara’s presentation was fantastic, and everyone engaged with the philosophy presented!

We look forward to seeing you at the next one!
