Social justice in the EU tomorrow and particularly in France today, given at the very least the terrible urgency of the mortal yet unnecessary multiple impoverishments of destitute street children in such immensely wealthy and resourceful EU capital cities as Paris, can no longer be understood as it has been traditionally exclusively either in the overly general terms of merit or desert, or in the more contemporary but still overly general terms alone of fairness, capability, law, and discourse.

Rather, the specific empirical density of the situations of destitute Paris street children, and of so many other extremely impoverished children very much like them in other EU capital cities, requires examining freshly the moral satisfactoriness and the ethical appropriateness of our current understandings of the nature of social justice.

More demandingly, this specific empirical density also requires developing what are still inchoate forms only of larger, more inclusive, and even partly metaphysical understandings of social justice tomorrow in perhaps even such elusive but still philosophically suggestive terms as the moments of mutuality.
