In South Africa, a number of obstructions exist to realising the right to access to justice as enshrined by section 34 of the South African constitution. Globally, many countries grapple with access to justice due to a number of multi-layered and complex causes. This article explores traces, connections, definitions and perceptions related to access to justice so as to allow for a deeper understanding of persisting justice problems. It employs a multi-disciplinary approach that examines worldviews on access to justice in South Africa through the lens of what Sohail Inayatullah terms ‘other ways of knowing’. These worldviews are also considered through the framework of the ‘ethic of care’ as formulated by Carol Gilligan and connected to the notion of ‘complexity’ as understood by Yvonne Malan and Paul Cilliers. The worldviews explored represent ‘different voices’ that discloses a possibility for a future of justice inclusion. The article calls for a people-centred approach to access of justice, underpinned by notions of humility, complexity, concreteness, and particularity.

在南非，实现南非宪法第 34 条规定的诉诸司法的权利存在许多障碍。在全球范围内，由于许多多层次和复杂的原因，许多国家都在努力争取司法救助。本文探讨了与诉诸司法相关的痕迹、联系、定义和看法，以便更深入地了解持续存在的司法问题。它采用多学科方法，通过 Sohail Inayatullah 所称的“其他认识方式”的镜头来审视南非诉诸司法的世界观。这些世界观也通过 Carol Gilligan 制定的“关怀伦理”框架来考虑，并与 Yvonne Malan 和 Paul Cilliers 所理解的“复杂性”概念相关联。探索的世界观代表了“不同的声音”，揭示了未来司法包容的可能性。文章呼吁以谦逊、复杂、具体和特殊的概念为基础，采取以人为本的司法途径。
