The Big Think - Intro to political philosophy, Tamara Gendler, Yale Univ:
Justice is the first virtue of social institutions as truth is of systems of thought.
A scientific theory, even if it's elegant, is useless if it's false.
A political structure, even if it's efficient, is illegitimate if it's unjust.
--John Rawls
