| Abstract | "This book advances Oruka's argument that the right to a human minimum is the most basic and necessary (though not sufficient) means to ensuring human dignity, a precondition to functioning as a moral agent. It also defends and promotes an understanding of justice as ensuring both egalitarian and ecological fairness at the global level"-- Provided by publisher. |
