Justice is a human virtue that is at once unconditional and
conditional. Under favorable circumstances, we can be motivated to
act justly by the belief that we must live up to what justice
requires, irrespective of whether we benefit from doing so. But our
will to act justly is subject to conditions. We find it difficult
to exercise the virtue of justice when others regularly fail to.
Even if we appear to have overcome the difficulty, our reluctance
often betrays itself in certain moral emotions.
In this book, Jiwei Ci explores the dual nature of justice, in
an attempt to make unitary sense of key features of justice
reflected in its close relation to resentment, punishment, and
forgiveness. Rather than pursue a search for normative principles,
he probes the human psychology of justice to understand what
motivates moral agents who seek to behave justly, and why their
desire to be just is as precarious as it is uplifting.
A wide-ranging treatment of enduring questions, "The Two Faces
of Justice" can also be read as a remarkably discerning
contribution to the Western discourse on justice re-launched in our
time by John Rawls.
