Haudattu temppeli by Maurice Maeterlinck
"Haudattu temppeli" by Maurice Maeterlinck is a philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. The work delves into profound themes of justice and morality, questioning the existence of a supreme judge and the nature of justice in both societal and universal contexts. Through its inquiry, it engages with metaphysical concepts of right and wrong, urging a reflection on human existence and responsibility. At the start of the text, the author addresses
those who doubt the existence of an omnipotent judge governing moral law. He poses existential questions about justice, considering if human-created laws are the only form of justice or if there exists a higher, more universal moral order. The opening sets the stage for a deeper analysis of moral rights versus societal laws, suggesting that true justice transcends human understanding and societal norms. Maeterlinck invites readers to reflect on the implications of justice in their lives and the potential disconnect between personal morality and universal laws.
