Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article argues that while institutional reforms are crucial for societal transition, the transformation of mentalities is equally important for achieving a truly good society. It emphasizes that mentalities, particularly "agape" (a form of care and love for improvement), play a significant role in fostering a society capable of continuous improvement. The analysis critiques the idea that institutions alone can create a good society and advocates for a balanced approach that includes both institutional and mental development.
