Abstract
The search for a just society and resolution of all social problems has remained main goal since societies first developed, and remains so to date. Almost every mature person knows intuitively what is ‘just,’ and can intuitively identify ‘injustice.’ From Ancient theory of ‘might is right’ to the recent, ‘justice as fairness’, all involve a determining factor for its actualization, which includes rising beyond our ambivalence of human nature, which is the crux of Ibuanyidanda philosophy. Plato agrees with this when he claimed that ‘an un-examined life is not worth living’, as our decision and life activities contributes extensively to social injustice. This is because if we examine our actions and decisions as Plato advised, our limitations can be identified and then we can endeavor to rise beyond our ambivalence human nature. This paper attempts to apply Ibuanyidanda philosophy to the problem of social justice.
