Justice plays a central role in our own cultural imaginary, across law and politics, philosophy and religion. It has pervasive currency in academia and society at large as a synonym for ‘administration of the law’ (as in ‘Ministry of Justice’), ultimate aspiration of political movements, ethical norm, or theological principle. This workshop aims to explore variants of justice that were thematized and enacted in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East (broadly conceived) and their contemporary resonances.
