  • Concepts Of Justice And Fairness

    Originally published in Philosophical Review Vol. LXVII. 1958. - Steve Bayne (Hist-Analytic. org JUSTICE AS FAIRNESS By JOHN RAWLS (1958) 1. It might seem at first sight that the concepts of justice and fairness are the same, and that there is no reason to distinguish them, or to say that one is more fundamental than the other. I think this impression is mistaken. In this paper I wish to show that the fundamental idea in the concept of justice is fairness; and I wish to offer an analysis of the ...

True justice means that everyone is tre...
  • Seeking Of Justice
    669 words
    Justice Justice, as defined by Webster's Dictionary is the quality of being fair or just. This implies that justice would have something to do with being fair. I thought that if one of the things the law and legal system are about is maintaining and promoting justice and a sense of fairness, they might not be doing such a great job. An eye for an eye is fair? No, that would be too easy, too black and white. I could cite several examples where I thought a judge's or jury's ruling was unfair, howe...
  • Fairness And Restitution
    438 words
    What is Justice? The powers that be, including, politicians, police, clergymen etc. would have us believe that Justice is found in our laws. We should all believe that a judge and jury are the perfect tool to illuminate what is fair in every situation. And because of that we should all obey the laws of society and leave the enforcing of those laws up to the court system. Well I have seen the lie in this philosophy too many times to accept it as truth. Justice can be defined in many ways. The sim...
  • Word Justice

    In my mind justice is a very abstract concept. Although it seems like everyone knows the meaning of the word many people view justice differently. If you would ask people what they associate the word justice with, you would hear many opinions. To me it means fairness, accountability, equality, punishment, following the letter of the law, and these are the words that came to my mind on the spot, but the list sure doesn t end here. What may seem just to one person may be considered totally unjust ...

    A phrase I often hear is, "It's not fair". It's common among children when a sibling gets something, or is allowed to do something, that they themselves are denied. But it can also be heard here at work from employees. It could be they didn't feel they got fair treatment about a job assignment, award or promotion. Whenever you have a group of people, it's a challenge to convince them all that they " re being treated fairly. When life is not fair, sometime it's to your advantage. Michael Dorris' ...
