Iris Marion Young’s “Social Connection Model” of Responsibility: Clarifying the Meaning of Connection

Abstract

difference' to cause a particular effect.The most appropriate and consistent way to understand connection to structural injustice is that individuals reproduce the background conditions in which they act.Young's conception of reproduction of background conditions is thus elaborated and defended as the relevant form of connection that generates political responsibility.This is not intended as the last word on the subject, because it is possible that there are other forms of connection that generate political responsibility that Young has not thought of.For the purposes of this paper I restrict the discussion to an immanent critique.
