Sphere of Justice

The Sphere of Justice is a concept suggesting that different social roles and decisions should be governed by different principles of justice suited to their specific contexts. For example, issues related to personal relationships might be guided by friendship or love, while economic or political matters should follow fairness and equality. This view recognizes that there's no single standard for justice that applies universally; instead, appropriate principles depend on the particular domain or "sphere" of life, promoting fairness and respect tailored to each area’s unique nature.
