The meaning of an expression resides not in the expression itself
but in the experience of a person's engagement with it. Meaning
will be different not only to different people but also to the same
person at different times. This book offers a way of attending to
these different meanings. This way (or method) is a version of a
trans-cultural activity that Richard Dawson calls attunement. The
activity of attunement involves a movement of self-adjustment to a
language, which a person transforms in her or his use of it.
Consciously performing the activity can enable understanding of the
processes by which we constitute ourselves and others when we use a
language. This directly connects to the topic justice, which is
concerned with constituting appropriate selves and relations.
Justice as Attunement engages with a wide range of texts - legal,
literary, economic, philosophical, among others - and illuminates
many useful and fascinating connections between them. There is a
sense in which this book transcends disciplinary boundaries, for,
in addition to students and scholars of law, literature, economics,
and philosophy, it is written to a general reader who is interested
in reflecting on and doing justice to their experiences in life.
