Contemporary philosophical pluralism recognizes the inevitability and legitimacy of multiple ethical perspectives and values, making it difficult to isolate the higher-order principles on which to base a theory of justice. Rising up to meet this challenge, Rainer Forst, a leading member of the Frankfurt Schools newest generation of philosophers, conceives of an autonomous construction of justice founded on what he calls the basic moral right to justification.
