Abstract
Justice is more often an implicit theme than an explicit object of study in sociology. The most obvious causes of this are the strong pressures toward moral relativism and against metaphysical speculation. The effort to comprehend what is, from the point of view of those living it, lends itself to neither absolute judgments nor a unified definition.1
