Summary/Abstract: The article approaches selected aspects of the correlation between justice and law, which – according to him – ought be reflected philosophically. Undertaken analyses aim at answering to following questions: how can injustice be minimized in individual and social life; how can one defend against it? It seems that the most effective protector of justice is philosophical realism both in theory and in practice, as realism enables the most primordial understanding of man, society, and culture (law included). Therefore the realistic philosophy seems to be philosophia perennis that will never collapse. Even if it sometimes is overwhelmed by other more popular currents, realism in philosophy will last. There is, however, a set of questions about realism in social, psychological, legal, political, and even medical sciences.
