When we have a good definition of consciousness ask that question again. untill you can ask a monkey about it's motivations, you can't ascribe human concepts to evolved behavior. An argument in favor of my point. This all occurs in your head. Depending on your definitions, it can be said that humans label certain actions and behaviors 'Just' and so 'Justice' exists as a set of behaviors we exhibit. Which I think still supports my point. Thought leads to behavior. Edit* Take a picture of one 'Justice' and link it in your reply. This of course all goes out the window if you bring deity into the question, which I explicitly choose to not do.If Justice is a concept that only exists in the human mind, then how do we explain social animals who exhibit behaviors such as altruism or shunning?
If Justice is an abstract, where do these feelings of pain and relief come from and why do they exist?
doesn't that mean Justice exists even if its us who willed it into existence?
