Philosophical analysis of the “justice” concept in the context of social governance in the Kyrgyz Republic

Abstract

Abstract: With growing social inequality, corruption political instability, the problem of justice in Kyrgyzstan becomes an urgent topic requiring measures to ensure the country’s stability and development through effective social governance. The study aims to identify variations, in the philosophical understanding of justice, in the context of social governance in Kyrgyzstan. The study employed a phenomenological approach in its theoretical and methodological basis. The empirical basis of the study was the focus group method, which involved activists in Kyrgyzstan. There are two dominant approaches to the perception of justice in the country. The liberal approach emphasizes the importance of individual rights, freedoms and market principles. The socialist approach emphasizes the importance of collective interests, social solidarity and state intervention in the economy. It is important to create mechanisms that are in line with liberal principles, but also consider the people’s needs, who are used to a more planned economy and state intervention. The results of the study have practical value for state structures involved in social and economic reform processes.
