| Summary: | Throughout human civilization, justice has been an enduring value, evolving through continuous
advocacy. Fueled by human reason, individuals consistently elevate their standards, leading to the
transformation of justice derived from natural law, societal changes, and religious doctrines. This
dynamic process signifies that humanity, along with its cultures, laws, and justice perceptions,
progresses rather than regresses—growing more intricate, sophisticated, and advanced. This article
delves into the development of justice concepts in Islamic and Western cultures across classical,
modern, postmodern, and contemporary eras. Utilizing a philosophical approach, it argues that
justice undergoes a developmental evolution in both cultures—from discussions in the context of
natural law to exploring religious justice and culminating in discussions of social justice.
Despite epistemological differences, both Islamic and Western cultures remain inseparable from
justice principles: enforcing justice, presupposing equality, aligning with truth, embodying
equilibrium, and positioning things rightly. |
