Description

Justice, or a condition thereof, is a philosophical concept attempting to describe an ideal state of humanity: a morally-correct state of things and people. Whether this ideal is attainable, or perhaps desirable, is an open question. According many theories of justice, it is overwhelmingly important. For instance, John Rawls claims that "Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought."[1] Some theories argue that in the current state of the world, justice is already supreme. [Thomas Nagel], for instance, writes, "We live in a justice world."[2] Historically, most societies have professed that justice is desirable, and many social and political movements are centred on the premise of global justice. However, a precise philosophical account of justice has been notoriously hard to come by. For philosophers who see justice as paramount, they are in the difficult position of being unable to clearly and distinctly distinguish justice from injustice in characters, institutions, actions, or the world as a whole. Additionally, it is unclear whether justice consists in all, some, or any of these categories. This problem of uncertainty about fundamentals has inspired philosophical reflection about justice, as about other topics. What exactly justice is, and what it demands of individuals and societies, are among the oldest and most contested of philosophical questions. For example, the proper distribution of wealth in society

How many lies are necessary to push truth off the table so negotiation can proceed? Justice, like cranberries, is only harvestable when the bog is flooded. Far too many engineers have come to drain the swamp. Surveyors have described it's breadth and length. The referee has replaced the judge and wants to get his feet wet. Science and religion are not welcome. They are too absolutist. This is the place where no one is above and common sense prevails over wisdom.
