Concepts of social justice and the modern American detective novel

The idea of justice as a social virtue and as an individual value has intrigued philosophers for centuries. The emphasis it has received throughout history and in various cultures and societies has provided the central core of a debate which has attracted the attention of classical and modern philosophers, legal theorists and feminist thinkers. The range of conceptual forms describe an historical dichotomy between act and rule-based theory, and a locus in society, the individual, or, interactively demonstrated in both.
