Abstract

In times of abnormal justice, the grammar of justice, capable of inspiring claims for better living conditions throughout the world, presents equally abnormal conditions in which shared hitherto presuppositions begin to be questioned. In this context, this article starts from the diagnosis presented by Nancy Fraser on the abnormality of the current context of justice, to reflect on the challenges posed by the (re)definition of the limits of inclusion/exclusion of human beings in this sphere, the grammar of justice, that is, to the one of justice, presenting the cosmopolitanism as a normative theoretical answer, as developed by Martha Nussbaum, within the framework of its egalitarian liberalism of capacities. In this theoretical perspective, cosmopolitanism constitutes a moral posture according to which the main moral loyalty of a community must be towards the common being of humanity. Regardless of any species of morally irrelevant differentiation, the equal value of all members of the human community must be respected, constituting an ethical-moral proposal to be implemented through a humanistic, cosmopolitan education project.
