Paul Riccor, the French philosopher, aims in "Love and Justice" at presenting a new
concept of justice, via its relation with love, leaving behind the traditional concept
manifested in distributive justice; this concept which was established by Ric
cor unable to
put a finale to the social clash, especially the oppressed and marginalized groups. Hence,
he tries to present a new concept of justice via tackling its relation with love. Therefore,
this research presents at first the concept of justice as it was presented by Riccor, then
proceeds to discuss the discrepancy between the traits of love and justice in accordance
with the controversy suggested by Paul Riccor, which will enable us to find a relationship
through which justice can be established via gaining back the ability to love, then looking
at love as more than a mere individual whim; love as one ethic power capable of making a
compromise between happiness and duty. Finally, the research ends up with quite
accumulative consequences capable of creating new horizons due to this research.
