Is justice, or morality generally, like a science, something that we learn or confirm by reason and observation?

Or is it fundamentally sub- or supra-rational, a truth or command that we know or believe only by instinct, conscience, faith, habit, or heart?

Or is it not even a thing at all, but the product of human wish or agreement, a myth or convention?

If we don’t know how we know right from wrong, or good from bad human beings, how can we guide our lives, or claim to know ourselves?

In this seminar, we will search for a path out of the confusion, by retracing the steps of the first philosophers, and see how the problem of justice first came to light for them.
