Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the most relevant aspects of liberal theories of justice and certain Marxist approaches that focus on distribution. According to Young (1990), the distributive paradigm refers to theoretical conceptions that center around the distribution of material goods and social positions. This study aims to explore the limitations, deficiencies, and consequences of maintaining a conceptualization solely centered on distribution. Additionally, it examines the criticisms posed by Forst (2007) and Fraser (1995) towards Young, as well as Fraser's proposed displacement of the distributive paradigm. It also analyzes the contributions of Honneth (XXX) and his theory of recognition. Lastly, it refers to Nussbaum's (2003) capabilities approach as a potential expansion, particularly in terms of grasping the complexity of social contexts where injustices occur and providing an informative basis for the implementation of effective public policies.
