Summary/Abstract: Justice is an area of research and the subject of theoretical works, just like the categories of truth, beauty and rationality. Apart from some more general remarkson justice, the present text concentrates on issues of justice considered from the point ofview of the interests and theoretical achievements of economics, and also on the problemof territorial justice. To the question: What is territorial justice?, I propose the followinganswer: Territorial justice is a form of social justice that, apart from the basic featuresof that notion, in relation to individuals and social groups takes into account their spatialcircumstances, treating space (territory) as a potential and real-term barrier to accessingthe principles of justice.
