Appreciating Justice Part 1

Justice

If people’s actions are pre-determined, then how can they be praised as good, or condemned as evil? And how can we fairly reward or punish?

Oh, but people have free will? So, if that is the case, we have the freedom to make the right or wrong choices.

Or, perhaps things are not that binary? Maybe people have freedom up to a point? if so, perhaps what we should reward is maximising the value of choices relative to the degree of free choice someone has as a result of their circumstances.

But, that seems a bit too complicated?

Maybe, but it could become easier, as circumstances themselves become more just, and more understood.
