The Crisis of Normative Justice: When the Foundation is Absent and the Compass is Lost
Throughout history, humans have sought to establish normative systems to regulate justice among individuals and communities. Religions and major philosophies have offered their models, each according to its sources and epistemic horizon. Yet these models consistently collided with the limits of their tools: what each community considers a certainty remains a particular and does not automatically become a universal.
Adopting a private source (revelation, rational axioms, intuition, etc.) is legitimate and recognized. But attempting to generalize it to others cannot be done through conflict or domination, but only through the ability to articulate it in a shared rational language. Here lies the difference between a cultural project confined to its environment, and a civilizational project that finds its place in the shared human domain.
