Block city - Unselfish Humanity

Edgewater Park, Cleveland, Ohio, sometime in the 2020s

The idea is to show, time and again, how justness as a quality of character depends on wonder as its core, extent, and ground. I understand justice, unconventionally, as a process of working out relationships into freeness for all involved. Justice depends on power from the planet - the freedom of being that makes relating possible at all for the living. In this way, the book argues for an understanding of justness that focuses on generation, with wonder meeting it.

There are other ways relationships are a guide to justness, too:
