Abstract

Relationship between justice, luck and desert is a hot topic in mysticism and spiritualism. Therefore, this study looks at the definitions and traditional concepts of justice, luck and the desert. However, the major focus of this study is to find the answer of the question; whether luck and desert overlap the concept of justice or not. Hence, the study utilizes the work of John Rawls, Serena Olsaretti and Bhimasen Hantel for this purpose.
