COLT 0810G: Equity: Law, Literature, and Philosophy
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Justice, rigorously applied, yields injustice. This paradox has haunted Western aspirations toward legal and political justice from antiquity to the Renaissance. It necessitated the formulation of a complementary principle, equity, whose job it was to correct or supplement the law in cases where the strict application of it would lead to unfairness. We will read Sophocles, Shakespeare, Dickens, Kafka, and others.
