Understanding this quote
The speaker says that losing humanity’s sense of justice would be worse than the collapse of institutions or even the stars. Calling justice “that sun of the moral world” presents it as the light that guides human conduct. Without it, the foundations of human life would be more seriously damaged than any visible disaster.
