Generous Justice

It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances to doing justice. Isn’t it full of regressive views? Didn’t it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for gui

本書主要是批判地介紹洛爾斯的公正論。洛爾斯最主要的工作是建立一個分配公正的理論，他把自己的理論稱之為「公平式的公正」（Justice as Fairness）。這個理論所處理的是社會基本結構的公正問題。他提出了二個原則 作為分配公正的原則：第一個原則是「最大均等自由的原則」，第二個原則是「差異原則」。本書詳細地討論了這二個原則的內容，並且舖陳出洛爾斯以什麼作為它們的前提，以及如何從這些前提推導出這

Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical, and people striving to get by. In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every precedent and piety in Irish literature.

正義／社會公義（social justice），是指社會的基本結構是否公平；正義可以說是社會制度的最基本價值，而「轉型正義」（transitional justice）則是指如何在轉型時期實踐正義（justice in transition），因此，轉型正義可以說是一種機制、手段、或是過程。本書以轉型正義為主軸，從法學、政治哲學、比較政治學等面向探討、分析，並從各國的歷史經驗和現況加以論述，藉以呈

‘We must have a procedure – if we are going to hang anyone – that is just,’ said Chief Justice Sir Francis Piggott in 1909, on discovering that Chinese accused of murder were being denied interpretation in Hong Kong’s courts. Due process, no matter how costly or inconvenient, was ‘one of the penalties of empire,’ he declared.Penalties of Empire explores how judges, juries, and lawyers strove to deliver justice during the 150 years when the death penalty was in force in Hong Kong. Nine main chapters focus on key capital trials in the first century of British rule. Among the cases are piracies, assassinations, and crimes of passion and desperation. These chapters describe the proceedings in court and the participants involved. They also explore the debates surrounding each case and the exercise or denial of mercy by governors. Two final chapters discuss the decline of the death penalty after World War II, its suspension after 1966, and the controversies leading to its formal abolition in

In this new Legendary Alston Boys adventure from Edgar-nominated author Lamar Giles, Otto and Sheed must embark on their most dangerous journey yet, bringing a fugitive to justice in a world that mirrors their own but has its own rules to play by. Unlike the majority of Logan County's residents, Missus Nedraw of the Rorrim Mirror Emporium remembers the time freeze from The Last Last-Day-of-Summer, and how Otto and Sheed took her mirrors without permission in order to fix their mess.

Monocle has always been a champion of taking it slow. It has encouraged readers to dive into a lake and go for a run. To sleep well. To eat food whose makers are proud of its provenance. In a shouty, jabbing-finger moment in history, it has done its bit to argue for a new modern etiquette to be generous with our time, hospitality and forgiveness. Now its editors and correspondents have brought all of this together in The Monocle Manifesto for a Gentler Life, a book that urges us all to slow down, reconnect, make good things and see nice places. And it also knows when to wear a cheeky smile. Chapters include:• An illustrated guide to being nice, respecting your neighbour and controlling your social media rants.• Profiles of the happiest nations – and the least lonely too.• How to build a house that’s good for you and your family.• Essays from leading thinkers and great writers on what we can gain if we shift gear.• The businesses charting a better course – from management to pride in pr
