The Ten Dimensions of Justice: From Structures to Self
Yung Suk Kim
Justice is multifaceted, encompassing virtually all matters of human and non-human life. It covers personal identity, relationships, communal and societal life, politics, economics, and the environment. While social justice is a vast concept in its own right, justice is not limited to it; we must also address procedural or environmental justice to find ways to improve the status quo. There are many other dimensions to consider as well—in my book, Justice and the Parables of Jesus, I explore ten distinct kinds of justice. Ultimately, justice is not merely about changing others or structures, but also about transforming ourselves. To study justice critically is to commit to a never-ending search for truth.
