You say that the basis of all justice is the law... Napoleon62 Send a noteboard - 13/06/2010 10:51:13 PM
But is it possible for a law to be inherently unjust? (in your opinion) Can the actions we as individuals take be either just or unjust or can it only be in the sense of the ruler and the ruled? How do we define the justness or lack thereof of a given social system?

Do you think there is something called justice? Napoleon62 - 13/06/2010 10:54:18 PM 463 Views
Well, obviously not with an existence independent of the human mind. Tim - 13/06/2010 11:07:38 PM 331 Views
Cool, I'll look at these... Napoleon62 - 13/06/2010 11:12:23 PM 429 Views
Actually, that is being "just" not justice *NM* MalkierKnight - 14/06/2010 05:46:06 AM 135 Views
The original reads, "Iustitia est constans et perpetua voluntas ius suum cuique tribuens". Tim - 14/06/2010 01:37:10 PM 371 Views
Obviously it's a present active participle. Ghavrel - 15/06/2010 12:09:54 AM 329 Views
Precisely. As in the well-known Latin phrase iustitio pauperem puerum; nullum corpus me amat. Tim - 15/06/2010 08:54:59 AM 328 Views
