Distributive, participatory, and recognition justice along with measures that promote human capabilities is required to promote ecological democracy in the world. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Contemporary Pragmatism is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
