I'm really not sure how the professor gets off saying that justice and
equity are "spiritual" questions. Certainly one doesn't need to invoke any
spirits to talk about them! And besides, I was under the impression that
politics was the philosophy of how we should live together -- and that
certainly includes some concept of justice! Perhaps they think that you
need some kind of spirits to justify treating people with equity. I can't
see why, though. Reciprocity (or EMPATHY) works for me.
Maybe I should read some Marx.
