Aristotle's Virtues Of Justice




Kartikeya Chaudhary, Amity University, Lucknow

ABSTRACT

Aristotle's Virtues of Justice is a philosophical concept that centres around the idea of leading a morally good life by developing character traits that enable individuals to act justly. According to Aristotle, justice is a virtue that can be developed through practice and habituation. He believed that there are two primary types of justice: distributive justice, which concerns the fair distribution of resources and goods within a society, and corrective justice, which is focused on rectifying wrongs and restoring balance to relationships. Additionally, Aristotle argued that justice is a mean between two extremes: excess and deficiency. By finding the appropriate balance, individuals can act justly and live a life of moral excellence. The concept of the virtues of justice has had a significant impact on ethical theory and has been extensively debated and interpreted by philosophers throughout history.
