The Idea of Justice - Amartya Sen (2009)

You can read a wikipedia review.

Unfortunately, I did not feel wikipedia review is justified by stating the book is a critique and revision of Rawl's ideas. Rawl's has been used more like a central theme to which other concepts are compared with to make the complex theory understandable. However, just a few word of caution on when you start reading the book. This is not your one other coffee table books. Very detailed and thought provoking in style and content. Needs extreme patience and concentration to really make sense of the book. Definitely, gives a thorough understanding of justice, reasoning and principles behind them.

If you have serious appreciation for the concepts of justice and reasoning no book can be better to get a wide perspective.
