Justice is a human matter; wherever man is valued, and whenever the realization of humanity has been the concern of mankind, justice has entered the field of existence and played a role. Throughout human history, justice has been considered as a desirable idea and value, and man has always dreamed of establishing justice in the universe. According to Rawls, justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as honesty is the virtue of the thinking system. Therefore, this ultimate goal can be seen in all philosophical schools and monotheistic religions and in the opinion of all Islamic and Western thinkers. Justice has been examined from different perspectives due to its importance for all areas of individual and social life. The diversity of these areas has raised several concepts of justice. The idea of equality is an idea that is included in all concepts of justice. From a precise and at the same time broad viewpoint, it can be said that there is basically one type of justice and that is “social justice”, because justice is important in social relations.
John Rawls' theory of justice is one of the most influential works on justice in the contemporary era. In Rawls' theory of justice, social justice has a place beyond the distribution and redistribution of possibilities (that is, wealth and opportunities). Also, in this theory, guaranteeing maximum freedom for citizens is also considered a fundamental principle in the concept of justice. Justice as fairness is the title of an article in which he refers to two basic questions and human values: equality and freedom.
