new interest in articulating the virtue of justice has emerged. John Rawls saw justice as the typical virtue of the institution; Irene van Staveren saw it as that of the state, marked by such indicators as votes, legitimacy, public fairness and distributive rules. Psychology Moral justice has been linked to the sixth and highest of Kohlberg's stages of moral development. Freudians consider that in the unconscious the image of the Father embodies a stern but fair justice; Jungians similarly see the archetype of the King as representing the right ordering of society. In literature Dante made Justice the virtue of his sixth heaven (the sphere of Jupiter), and illustrated it through such martial figures as Joshua and Roland. Sir Philip Sydney wrote of "justice the chief of virtues"; Edmund Spenser devoted the fifth book of The Faerie Queene to the same theme. Wallace Stevens rejected what he called "galled Justicia/Trained to poise the tables of the law" as part of the obsolete images of the past, and favoured instead the modernist seeking out of new ruling images – new "sovereigns of the soul".
