This 6-week non-credit evening course explores the concept of justice through foundational texts from ancient Greece (Aeschylus, Plato, Aristotle) and Rome (Cicero) to the modern era (Mary Wollstonecraft, Martin Luther King Jr., John Rawls, Pedro Arrupe, S.J., and Martha Nussbaum). Participants will examine justice through six key themes—Order, Harmony, Virtue, Responsibility, Progress, and Love. Through guided discussions, we’ll uncover how these thinkers have shaped our understanding of fairness, morality, and the common good and reflect on what justice might mean today.
