It is that which, as Adorno put it, is nonidentical or incommensurable with the Law, that equivifying and homogenizing principle of identity which is, as the cliche puts it, nine-tenths to do with property. It's significant that this aporia is rooted in the very heart of the term "justice" -- the word itself can mean a member of the legal profession, as well as the revolutionary impulse of creating fairness where there is none. So my thoroughly unsatisfactory non-answer to the question would be, only through the ruthless critique of the unmeasurable would we be able, momentarily, to grasp the immeasurable.
