In Rethinking Justice, Richard H. Bell lifts up and restores an
idea of justice found in classical writers such as Socrates and
Seneca as well as in more recent thinkers. Justice, classically,
has dealt with righting wrongs and restoring peace to individuals
and human communities. We have lost sight of this in our modern
political and legal dealings and must find a way to return it to
mind and to practice. Each chapter looks at ways to restore such
reconciliatory practices to the idea of justice that can be found
in our contemporary life and literature and focuses on numerous
recent cases of abuse of justice among individuals, groups and
nations. Bell approaches justice as a concept that goes hand in
hand with compassion, mercy, and trust. Rethinking Justice reminds
us that we have an obligation to foster peace, be merciful, and
promote reconciliation with our brothers and sisters in humanity.
