Abstract
The notion of justice refers synoptically to the most convenient forms of treatment given to individuals and to the way in which it arises and is based on the background of society. The normative approach to justice represents the concept of fairness, as long as there is an adequacy between the norms of a specific theory of justice and the behavior of individuals with respect to it. This theoretical approach opens the possibility of a rationale on beliefs and political reasoning. An epistemic analysis would fulfill an important and possibly foundational task of a critique of what we consider to be fair treatment between individuals, groups and peoples. This article addresses justice as the set of normative elements of a formal nature, tied to epistemic regulation, which constitute models of the fair treatment of individuals and communities. Justice is thus a meta-normative level of political institutions. The building of a just society would be possible as far as we start from an original contract, one that is constituted in the coherence between the epistemic or internal normativity of the individuals, the model of justice and its application.
