Glossary

" "Justice" comes from the Latin justitia, itself derived from jus, which dictionaries translate either as "right" or "justice". In French, as in Latin, justice refers both to the conformity to the law; the justice one dispenses (and which constitutes in modern times one of the three branches of state power, alongside the legislative and the executive); and the sense of equity, the spirit of justice, which is bound up with morality."  Cf. CASSIN, Barbara, Emily APTER, Jacques LEZRA a Michael WOOD, ed. Dictionary of Untranslatables: A Philosophical Lexicon: A one-of-a-kind reference to the international vocabulary of the humanities. 1.
