Abstract
Japanese scholars have launched a large-scale discussion on social justice issues such as “self-ownership” justice, exchange of justice, and distributional justice. The egalitarians and Marxists criticize the libertarianism that it's invalid to use moral intuition to justify the “self-ownership” justice. Because of the existence of capitalist exploitation, the equivalent exchange is also unequal and unjust in nature, libertarian believe that the distribution of economic equality is unfair, and even the distribution of justice itself is meaningless.
