    1 perspective
    Reason for

    • 1.A horizon implies both an opening and a limit that defines an infinite progress or period of waiting
      ?

    • 2.Justice does not wait; a just decision is always required immediately
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The moment of decision is a finite moment of urgency that cannot furnish itself with unlimited knowledge
      ?

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Rawls's 'regulative ideal' of justice as fairness does not defer action but orients present deliberation without claiming final realization.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A regulative horizon functions as a standard of critique, not a postponement—enabling us to identify injustice now precisely because we can measure against it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Derrida conflates the temporal structure of a regulative ideal with messianic waiting, collapsing a distinction Kant carefully maintained between constitutive and regulative use of reason.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Ernst Bloch's concrete utopia holds that anticipatory consciousness transforms present practice rather than suspending it in indefinite expectation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If justice requires no horizon whatsoever, it loses the comparative framework needed to distinguish more just from less just decisions under urgency.

    Derrida calls the first aporia, “the epoche of the rule” (Deconstruction and the Possibility of Justice, pp. 22–23). Our most common axiom in ethical or political thought is that to be just or unjust and to exercise justice, one must be free and responsible for one’s actions and decisions. Here Derrida in effect is asking: what is freedom.
