EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Allegory of Justice" from Aristotle's Ethics, a 14th-century masterpiece. The allegorical illustration depicts Dame Justice presiding over all aspects of justice, ranging from legal matters to personal morality and obedience. Aristotle, one of the most influential philosophers in Western thought, laid the groundwork for modern scientific inquiry during his lifetime in ancient Greece (384-322 BC). This engraving is based on a 14th-century manuscript of Book V of Aristotle's Ethics. The image captures the essence of justice as an abstract concept that transcends time and culture. It portrays a male figure representing justice with an allegorical touch, emphasizing its significance throughout history. The monochrome black and white aesthetic adds depth and gravitas to this medieval artwork. Its intricate details invite viewers to ponder upon the complexities surrounding law, philosophy, and morality. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of Aristotle's intellectual contributions but also how his ideas continue to shape our understanding of justice today. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy left by great thinkers like Aristotle who dared to explore profound questions about human nature and societal order.
