THE PATH TO SOCIAL JUSTICE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MACINTYRE AND NUSSBAUM’S APPROACHES IN THE CONTEXT OF UKRAINIAN SOCIETY

Анотація

This article examines the paths to social justice through a comparative analysis of Alasdair MacIntyre and Martha Nussbaum's philosophical approaches, contextualized within Ukrainian society.Employing a critical review methodology, this study highlights the relevance and application of MacIntyre's virtue ethics and Nussbaum's capabilities approach to the unique socio-political and economic challenges facing Ukraine.The study juxtaposes MacIntyre's emphasis on tradition, community, and practices with Nussbaum's focus on individual capabilities and human development, illustrating both the complementary and contrasting elements of their theories.By integrating MacIntyre's notions of communal virtues and Nussbaum's framework of essential capabilities, the research identifies a potential synergistic model for fostering social justice.The findings reveal that combining these approaches can offer a robust framework for advancing social justice in Ukraine, particularly in its transition from a Soviet legacy to a market-based economy.This comparative analysis underscores the practical significance of these philosophical frameworks in shaping policies and social structures that promote equality and human development.The study further explores how MacIntyre's critique of modern moral philosophy and Nussbaum's advocacy for state-guaranteed capabilities can address existing social inequalities and enhance civic participation.Conclusions recommend a balanced adoption of both MacIntyre's and Nussbaum's insights to effectively address and navigate the complexities of social justice in contemporary Ukrainian society.Policymakers, civil society, and academics are encouraged to consider these integrated approaches to create a more equitable and just social order, ensuring that all citizens have the opportunities to achieve their full potential.
