The Nature of Justice: Writers' Forum
Feb 8, 2016 | Pedro Alonso Enamorado ‘17
Logos journal hosted an event on Friday, February 5th to encourage conversation about the nature of justice. A group of Yalies came together around a table to tackle the difficulties in writing about justice. They began by trying to answer the question: what is justice? They looked at some of the unspoken givens understood when discussing justice, such as the idea of equity. There must be a balance of some kind, whether in interpersonal relations, commerce or God-man relations. Consequentially, participants agreed that justice describes conditions between two or more entities.
