Picture this: you are invited to a salon; a symposium in the company of Immanuel Kant, GWF Hegel, Agnes Heller and Axel Honneth. Could be in Jena, or Frankfurt, or Budapest. Now add the presence of the genial host, or interlocutor, Claire Nyblom. You have entered the labyrinths of this book, to discuss justice and its philosophical aporias. Nyblom is at home in these worlds, but also steps into them from the outside, from the world of injustice that prevails outside. The project that ensues beckons us forward.
