Description: "Gathered under the title The Just, the essays represent a sustained reflection on the relation between the concept of the judicial - as imbedded in written laws, tribunals, judges, and verdicts - and the philosophical concept of right, situated between moral theory and politics. In political philosophy, Ricoeur argues, the question of right is obscured by the haunting presence of historical evil. In a philosophy of right, on the other hand, the leading theme is peace."--BOOK JACKET.
