Whereas conceptions of justice differ from epoch to epoch and from country to country, the need for a shared representation of justice in a particular country and at a particular time does not. The legal system is where this representation takes shape and, although it may well be contradicted by the facts, it gives shared meaning and a common orientation to people's actions. — Alain Supiot

Fundamentalism is the philosophy of the powerless, the conquered, the displaced and the dispossessed.
