A Society Regulated By A Public Sense

I Have Tried To Set Forth A Theory That Enables Us To Understand And To Assess These Feelings About The Primacy Of Justice. Justice As Fairness Is The Outcome: It Articulates These Opinions And Supports Their General Tendency.

We Must Choose For Others As We Have Reason To Believe They Would Choose For Themselves If They Were At The Age Of Reason And Deciding Rationally.

If You Compare The United States With Europe, My View Is That What Happened In Europe Is That The Church Became Deeply Distrusted By People, Because It Sided With The Monarchs. It Instituted The Inquisition And Became Part Of The Repressive State Apparatus. That Never Happened Here. We Don't Have That History.

I Live In A Country Where 90 Or 95 Percent Of The People Profess To Be Religious, And Maybe They Are Religious, Though My Experience Of Religion Suggests That Very Few People Are Actually Religious In More Than A Conventional Sense.

The Sense Of Justice Is Continuous With The Love Of Mankind.
