Summary/Abstract: The article is a philosophical legal oriented study of selected views relating to the concepts of justice and mercy, as well as the relations between them. The author analyzes the views presented during the third edition of the Gdańsk Areopag, devoted to the concept of justice, held in Gdańsk in November 2002. In the study, it was deliberately decided to familiarize oneself with selected positions due to the forum for their presentation (Gdańsk Areopag), using them as interdisciplinary research material enabling the penetration of universal and specialized meanings into legal sciences (including the philosophy and dogmatics of criminal law) through philosophical reflection. The research conducted for the purposes of the study also made it possible to formulate several conclusions that are important for contemporary philosophical and legal discussions covering the issues of the concept of justice in the context of the concept of mercy.
