I think he adds an element when he says that justice is the impulse that makes us reform/deconstruct the law. That way not only wrongs against the law but also wrongs sanctioned or even initiated by the law can fall into Lewis's discussion of justice and injustice. The best bit of the excerpt is at the bottom of page 16 and the top of 17 in the link, and the whole book is a worthwhile little exploration if you'd like to see what the "conservative Derrida" (whom I call Derrida the person) has to say about his own reputation. For Derrida, it's quite readable.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I was digging about in the clearance bin at a local Christian bookstore and found a "What Would Jacques Do" bracelet. Or at least it said WWJD... ;)Nathan P. Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731491771737922242noreply@blogger.com
