Conclusion: Creating Social Justice

Abstract

The intent of a final chapter in a book such as this is to finalize the ideas that we have been discussing in a way that organizes them and makes them easy to assimilate so as to move forward. These deep participation and participatory social theory concepts, however, are so new and different, that they are neither fixed for us individually nor grounded within our various societies. When things are "up in the air" in this way, I have found that it is often a mistake to try and settle them too quickly. Instead, I will try to open the door to the possibility to "create dangerously" as Albert Camus, quoted in the introduction of this book, exhorts all of us to do. But to do so in a consistent and long-term manner requires that we change our address and decide to willingly and consciously live between rebellion and order.KeywordsSocial MovementComplex MutualitySocial LegitimacySocial MovePoverty EradicationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
