Growing toward Justice

On a theory based on insights from Plato’s Republic, justice is the virtue of character, shared by individuals with their communities, that is necessary for the survival of communities against the threat of civil strife. It is a cultured response to a need arising from human nature. Justice requires the free consent of community members and depends on the wisdom of the community’s leaders. It is an ideal to be approached but not to be fully achieved at the human level. An individual can grow toward justice best in a community that offers good examples to follow, is willing to improve with respect to justice, and offers opportunities for the free exercise of justice. In growing toward justice, one must seek self-knowledge and practice other virtues, especially wisdom. One must also learn to communicate (listening and speaking) so as to secure a workable consensus on one’s decisions regarding justice.
