Author and legal scholar Martha Nussbaum argues that poetry can help us to understand justice in a way that legal reasoning alone cannot. Poetry, she writes, "can show us the human face of justice, and can help us to understand the ways in which justice is connected to other human values, such as love, compassion, and forgiveness."

Nussbaum draws on a wide range of poetic works, from ancient Greek tragedy to modern American poetry, to illustrate her argument. She shows how poetry can help us to see the complexities of justice, and how it can challenge our assumptions about what justice requires.

Thinking the Poetic Measure of Justice is a challenging and rewarding book that will change the way you think about justice. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the law, literature, or the human condition.
