Toward a Constitution of Justice Forum based on Participation of Minjung

Who are summoned to discuss what justice is, and how it can be realized? The question has a variety of answers depending on the perspective and the position of the people who throw it. In the history of the concept justice we can scarcely find designs of justice from the perspective of minjung. Since Plato and Aristotle the concept justice has been designed to maintain order and peace in the commonwealth. In the tradition such a conservative conception has shaped a mainstream. Nowadays some have attempted to discuss justice from the bottom, but such discourses haven’t attracted much attention. Therefore, I think that it is one of the most important issues of contemporary theory of justice to respond to the question how justice forum should be constituted on the basis of minjung’s participation.
