3rd International Annual Conference of the Cluster of Excellence
Justice and/or Peace
18-20 November 2010
Goethe-University Fankfurt am Main/Campus Westend
In ordinary language peace usually stands for ‘freedom from disturbance‘ or ‘a state or period in which there is no war‘. Justice, in turn, is generally associated with ‘the quality of being fair and reasonable‘. In ethical and moral discourse the two are often discussed together, suggesting an internal, if delicate relationship. Consider three different voices: When, in addressing the United Nations, Pope Benedict quotes the prophet Isaiah that ‘justice will bring about peace; right will produce calm and security‘ the mere invocation of peace and justice as mutually interdependent already portends that the realities of global life probably do not (yet) live up to Catholic normative standards.
