Law Principles Icy

More From Charles Evans Hughes

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

Politics have always covered two distinct kinds of problems: problems of administrative routine, and those that may be called 'questions of the moment.' a question of the moment is, indeed, a substitute for some notion, such as the idea of god, or hereditary monarchy, or national glory, that has hitherto acted as a symbol of human co-ordination. it provides no new positive certainty to replace the discredited certainty, but is what the name implies: the raising of a question which the old certainty no longer answers.

Questions are not happenstance thoughts nor are questions common problems of today which one picks up from hearsay and booklearning and decks out with a gesture of profundity questions grow out of confrontation with the subject matter and the subject matter is there only where eyes are, it is in this manner that questions will be posed and all the more considering that questions that have today fallen out of fashion in the great industry of problems. one stands up for nothing more than the normal running of the industry. philosophy interprets its corruption as the resurrection of metaphysics.

Because of its concrete content, sense-certainty immediately appears as the richest kind of knowledge, indeed a knowledge of infinite wealth for which no bounds can be found, either when we reach out into space and time in which it is dispersed, or when we take a bit of this wealth, and by division enter into it. moreover, sense-certainty appears to be the truest knowledge ... but, in the event, this very certainty proves itself to be the most abstract and poorest truth. all that it says about what it knows is just that it is; and its truth contains nothing but the sheer being of the thing.

Art maybe the only space where an indvidual can be utterly free to question himself, as well as his relationship to his god
Art Space Wells
We come no nearer the infinitude of the creative power of god, if we enclose the space of its revelation within a sphere described with the radius of the milky way, than if we were to limit it to a ball an inch in diameter. all that is finite, whatever has limits and a definite relation to unity, is equally far removed from the infinite... eternity is not sufficient to embrace the manifestations of the supreme being, if it is not combined with the infinitude of space.

We talk about politicians being in public life, but they seldom appear in the public space where everyone is free to appear as a citizen.
