Video - Justice Unveiled: Balancing Fairness and Rights in Society

What is justice? Plato asked this question over two millennia ago in "The Republic," and its relevance hasn't waned. Today, we still grapple with what it means to live in a just society. Is justice the same as fairness? Philosophers like John Rawls argued that it's about ensuring fairness and equality, proposing the "veil of ignorance" as a thought experiment to design a just society. Meanwhile, thinkers like Robert Nozick critiqued this, suggesting that justice is about respecting individual rights, even if it leads to inequalities. Can these two views ever be reconciled? Perhaps the answer lies in a hybrid approach that values both fairness and individual rights. But can such a balanced system ever truly exist, or is the quest for justice an endless pursuit, constantly evolving with society?
