Federal & Postal Disability Retirement: Sense of Justice

February 28, 2019

Why do we speak in those terms? Why a “sense” of X, as opposed to X itself? Is it because it does not precisely fit into the strict definition of X, but may well be implied by it? “Justice” is often enmeshed with a definition involving morality and the strict bifurcation between “right” and “wrong” — as well as compliance with “the law”.
