Exploring the Sense of Injustice Through History and Literature

Delve into the concept of injustice with a comparative analysis of different theories of justice from Aristotle to Rawls, examining the impact of unjust decisions on societies and individuals. Reflecting on the writings of Holmes, Cahn, Shklar, and Moore, the discussion questions the evolution of justice and the nuanced perception of injustice over time. As Oliver Wendell Holmes aptly puts it, even a dog understands the distinction between being kicked and stumbled upon. The dynamic nature of injustice is further pondered upon by invoking the thought of movie producers and casting couch scenarios.
