Just settling down to a small meal, before bed.
That all sounds right to me. Extremes of any idea are toxic to societies.
And then there's defining terms. Even 'justice'.
By which moral values? Codified in the law, certainly, but how to compare criminal codes that lean more to revenge and punishment to those leaning more to correction and reform? Or laws that favour one segment of a society over another? Legal isn't always moral.
OK, recidivism rates, for one. I'll try to think of something else.
It seems like the entire notion of 'legal justice' is inextricably bound in the problems of religion and moral philosophy in general.
I know from other discussions on here that you've schooled generations of students through dealing with my kindergarten thoughts on these subjects.
Sometimes I just need to be hit over the head. Like there was that economics one and I was like "I knew that! Why couldn't I put it together for myself‽"
