概要 | Dimock (English, Brandeis U.) grounds traditional Western understandings of the nature of justice in a detailed discussion of the history and culture in which those ideas were formed. Legal theory ra...ging from Beccaria to Marx and Chomsky is counterposed to literary texts including James Fenimore Cooper, Melville, and Whitman. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR In this arresting book, Wai Chee Dimock examines the philosophical tradition from Kant to Rawls, challenging its conception of justice as foundational, self-evident, and all-encompassing. The idea of justice is based on the premise that the world can be resolved into commensurate terms: punishment equal to the crime, redress equal to the injury, benefit equal to the desert. Dimock focuses, however, on what remains unexhausted, unrecovered, and noncorresponding in the exercise of justice. To honor these "residues", she turns to literature, which, in its linguistic density, transposes the clean abstractions of law and philosophy into persistent shadows, the abiding presence of the incommensurate. Justice can only be a partial answer to the phenomenon of human conflict. 続きを見る |
