In this chapter, the Underground Man continues his argument against the concept of justice. He argues that the word "justice" has lost its power because it is not based on the individual, but rather on the building of a higher and higher society. The Underground Man argues that it is impossible to create an ideal ideal because one person's actions can lead to the deaths of countless others. He believes that the ideal was not created to mock the passions of others, but to create a system in which people can live according to their own will.
