Samenkova, S.E. Justice: idea, norm, reality.

Abstract: The author attempts to view the category of justice in three of its representations: as an idea, as a norm of law, and as a reality. The author then shows the quality and differences between all of them, their infl uence on the formation of understanding of justice (both everyday and scientifi c understanding), as well as on the way a political legal regime may be formed, changed or ceases to exist, and on the way the social relations may be regulated via the formation of legal norms.
