About this product
Product Information
This imaginative and original study traces the journey of an idea--the distinctively civic idea of justice--from its origins in the ancient Greek polis and Roman civitas, through its various transformations in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, to its adaptation by the American Republic and the modern world. Peter Murphy systematically explores the meaning of civic justice in its philosophical, art-historical, architectural, sociological, and political dimensions. He also looks at its dramatic encounters with other concepts of justice, both traditional (patrimonial) and modern (liberal). Particular attention is paid to the way these conflicts express themselves in the texture of urban life. Murphy addresses fundamental questions about the use and abuse of space in city architecture, the quality of urban life, and the interplay of such notions as reason and authority, freedom and limits, and modernity and antiquity in relation to the idea of civic justice. The book concludes with a sustained reflection on the legacy of the American Republic. Founded on a torturous compromise between antinomianism and the civic ideals of justice, America became the first great republic to disavow the city, a disavowal that has had enduring and tragic effects on its politics and social life ever since. Murphys superb synthesis is a provocative re-evaluation of the significance of humanism and the relevance of an enduring classical idea to contemporary life.
