Feasibility Challenge to Climate Justice and the Construction of Non-ideal Theory
;A theory of climate justice must prioritize the relationship between climate ethics and climate politics.The reality and urgency of the climate change issue requires climate justice theory to complete a methodological shift from ideal metaphysical argument to non-ideal construction of political nor-mativity.Analysis of political feasibility should be an integral part of climate justice theory,but descriptive studies of political feasibility are no substitute for the validation of political normativity,and the principle of"Ought Implies Can"both justifies the necessity of feasibility constraint from climate politics and imposes ethical limits on it.By integrating empirical and normative research,non-ideal theories of climate justice seek morally permissible and polit-ically valid theoretical routes towards the ultimate value goal of ideal theory in a step-by-step manner.
