CHAPTER V. PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPOSITION OF THE IDEA OF JUSTICE

PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPOSITION OF THE IDEA OF JUSTICE AND

INJUSTICE, AND A DETERMINATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF

GOVERNMENT AND OF RIGHT.

Property is impossible; equality does not exist. We hate the former, and yet wish to possess it; the latter rules all our thoughts, yet we know not how to reach it. Who will explain this profound antagonism between our conscience and our will? Who will point out the causes of this pernicious error, which has become the most sacred principle of justice and society?

I am bold enough to undertake the task, and I hope to succeed.

But before explaining why man has violated justice, it is necessary to determine what justice is.
