Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide an argument on the possibility of considering justice as an experience of the impossible. The distinction between justice and law is based on the derrian distinction. Such a distinction will have some implications on what is traditionally perceived as ethical. Starting from the game or deferance marked between presence/absence, the aim is to establish a dialogue point between Derrida and Levinas. The point of approximation is the question of the third (justice) in the face to face relationship. In that sense, it is questionable whether deconstruction can be adopted as a possible philosophical way that underpins an understanding of justice.
