What distinctions are there that you think can be made between justice and revenge?
One distinction I think can be made is the fact that juctice is often a lot more fair than revenge. Revenge is done out of anger, justice is not.OrI think most would agree that 'justice' is intended to reflect a common good but 'revenge' comes from a place of personal gain or comfort.In many legal examples we've seen in the last few years, a criminal trial is an attempt to mete justice but the subsequent civil trial is often motivated purely by revenge.For some interesting reading, try Plato's Republic on justice and the Hammurabic Code on revenge.-CB
