  • Beschreibung: The author suggests a three lateral, i.e., state-capital-labor, society as an efficient model for our discussion about the issues of justice in our times. He starts with the presupposition that God is the embodiment of justice and God the person of the embodied justice. Like the triune God our society has three subjects: State-Capital-Labor. Unlike other subjects, the labor is divided and di-sected by gender, ethnicity, regular/irregular employment, etc. In most societies, the labor is ruled and divided by state and capital. Unlike the triune God who is the embodied justice, the three-lateral and triune society is non-justice. In constructing authentic idea of justice in our context, the author discusses three paired issues and opts for the second in the respective pair: reciprocity versus love; persons free and equal versus the subaltern; harmony and equilibrium versus conflicts of interests. Author believes that his options for the second ones get his idea of justice closer to the Scriptural idea of justice than that of contemporary philosophers such as John Rawls.
