Summary: "Concerning Justice" by Lucilius A. Emery is a scholarly text that examines the philosophical underpinnings and implications of justice, likely written in the early 20th century. This work is based on a series of lectures delivered at Yale Law School and explores concepts of rights, governmental authority, and the nature of justice itself. The author engages with historical and contemporary theories, seeking to identify a coherent understanding of justice that can both bind society together and serve the welfare of individuals. The opening of the text presents the fundamental problem of defining justice amidst various theories that have emerged throughout history. Emery introduces the notion that although many people invoke justice in their arguments, an authentic understanding of what justice is often remains elusive and obscured by personal desires and societal biases. He references historical figures and philosophical traditions to illustrate the complexity of the nature of justice, asking penetrating questions about its universality, its absolute or relative qualities, and how it intersects with truth. The author calls upon the reader to consider how misconceptions about justice can lead to societal upheaval and urges a clearer comprehension that can help ensure equity and safeguard individual rights within the framework of law.
