This collection of papers explores the complex relationship between deconstructionist philosophy and the concept of justice. The book originates from a symposium held at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, bringing together scholars to examine how deconstructive approaches can inform or challenge traditional notions of legal and ethical frameworks. It investigates the inherent difficulties and possibilities in establishing justice within a framework that questions stable meanings and binary oppositions.

The collection's origin in a law school symposium suggests a focus on the practical and theoretical applications of deconstruction within the legal field. The subject matter points to a dense, academic text likely intended for scholars and advanced students of law and philosophy. The exploration of justice through deconstruction implies a critical engagement with established legal principles and a search for new interpretive possibilities.
