"Justice itself does not exist but it is something we demand and something that is demanded of us...justice aerates the law, turns its soil, keeping it just... [it is] a solicitation that everywhere exceeds the condition that reality itself has attained... laws are real but justice is like a 'ghost,' a specter, that haunts the laws, a good ghost, a caring spirit or guardian angel, whispering words of justice in the law, incessantly calling for what is yet to be."
-John D. Caputo from "What Would Jesus Deconstruct"
