Participation rights and equal opportunity policies are among the most important ethical criteria for enhancing justice in modern civilisations and their understanding of togetherness. But what about those who are permanently or temporarily unable to take opportunities or exercise rights? This volume documents the results of a biennial project group of the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft fur Theologie dealing with a capability ethics of justice in fields as different as, among others, children’s rights, disability studies and animal ethics. The proposed theological concept of justice is further explored in interdisciplinary and international collaboration with the philosophical, pedagogical, and juridical expertises that are also represented in the project group and in this volume.
