“I do not believe,” wrote F. A. Hayek in his book The Fatal Conceit, “that the widely held conception of ‘social justice’ either describes a possible state of affairs or is even meaningful.”  Hayek would complain “social” was a sort of “weasel word” that carried a lot of unexamined prescriptions.  To call something “social justice” is to advocate for something without bothering to fully explore what that something might even be.

 

What are the philosophical underpinnings of social justice?  What does it practically mean, and how could it practically apply.  And what ought we to do when the goals of “social justice” conflict with actual justice?

 

Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is joined by Ryan Rogers who shares his story of experiencing the social justice movement in graduate school and his efforts to fully understand it origins, merits, and faults.

Really engaging post, I felt like I learned something I can actually apply. Similarly, I’ve been trying to find clothing pieces that can work in different contexts. Vanson Jackets has some great options — for example, the The Voice S28 Reba McEntire Blue Fringe Jacket that’s versatile enough to be styled for casual or statement looks.

This conversation about the "woke mind" offers a lot to think about, especially when considering how social pressures shape our perceptions and behaviors. As individuals try to navigate these influences, some may find themselves turning to substances or unhealthy coping mechanisms. That’s why it’s crucial to find support, especially when struggling with issues that feel overwhelming.
