Famous philosopher Brian Barry defines social justice as impartiality. Bo Rothstein follows his path when defining the concept òf corruption as partiality. Barry argued that his definition no one could “reasonable reject”, i.e., it fulfills the criterion on justice. Wright put forward the idea that action is to be explained by “the thing to do”, i.e., what is reasonable. Perhaps, then partiality is the thing not to do because reasonable rejected?
