Love & Justice. Love is often considered a partial, even blind, sentiment that underlies only personal relationships. It is the basic value governing private life. Justice, on the other hand, is supposed to be the basic value governing our public life.
Justice requires that people have what they need in order to lead sufficiently good lives (sufficientarianism). People need to be loved and to be able to love at least sometimes and to some degree in order to lead sufficiently good lives. Love is a matter of justice.
Love unites the citizens of a distinct political community, binding them together with a care for both the individual and the common good. It imbues them with a devotion to the constitutional order to which they subject themselves. It burdens them with fealty to those who bear political authority.
