"As the greatest thinkers in the history of mankind have at all times seen--I am thinking particularly not only of Plato, but also of Spinoza--there can be no justice where there is no respect for truth. Only, when we talk of having a 'respect for truth,' we do not mean merely that we are going to use high sounding phrases; we mean that we are going to keep all the channels open, sometimes exceedingly tenuous channels, by which we can hope, I will not say to attain truth, but at least to approach truth."
- Gabriel Marcel, Man Against Mass Society
Is there much hope for justice in our contemporary political culture?
