Video - Justice: An Ever-Evolving Ideal or Unattainable Dream?

Imagine a world without justice. It’s not a dystopian novel, but a profound philosophical question: What exactly is justice? Plato, in The Republic, envisioned justice as harmony within the soul and society - each part functioning as it should. Conversely, John Rawls, in A Theory of Justice, argued for justice as fairness, prioritizing equality and the well-being of the least advantaged. However, skeptics like Nietzsche dismissed justice as a human construct, serving the interests of the powerful. So where does that leave us? Is justice an ideal we strive for but never truly attain, or is it an evolving concept that reflects our societal values? Perhaps, justice is not a fixed principle but a continuous negotiation, ever adapting to the moral progress of humanity. This thought, while enlightening, leaves us contemplating: as we evolve, will our understanding of justice ever reach a definitive resolution?
