Abstract

Symbol of justice is a blindfolded lady. Blind to all diversity, it provides impartial law and equal treatment for all citizens. Their rationality, cooperativeness, autonomy and independence confirm their legal equality. However, what about the people who, for various reasons, do not meet those conditions? Can a political community apply the principles of (political) justice to them? Does it relate to them unfairly excluding them from political relationships or building relationships with them on sympathy and compassion? Can compassion and empathy replace justice and the right to obtain justice? This paper, therefore examines the relationship between concept of political justice and disabled persons.
