Justice Based on Emerged Conventions: A Critical Analysis of Skyrm's Idea of Social Contract

Last two decades¡ some philosophers of social sciences and economists showed their interest in evolutionary explanations of Justice. Brian Skyrms is one of great contributor of these explanations. His two major works¡ Evolution of the social contract (1996) and stag hunt and evolution of social structure (2004)¡ are attempting to lay such explanations of justice by evolutionary game theory. The purpose of this paper is to present and evaluate the analytical framework and foundations of Skyrms’ idea. Accordingly¡ the paper¡ based on theoretical and analytical method¡ finds basic building blocks of Skyrms’ account of the social contract and then examines those foundations. Research findings show that skyrms seeks to naturalization of concepts such as justice; Project that meet with shortcomings such positive conception of values and inner inconsistency.
