Abstract

What is the relation between Aristotle's accounts of justice in his Ethics and Politics? In line with Aristotle's encompassing understanding of the study of politics I argue that his full account of his concept of justice in the Ethics is - in relation to the organisation of the city - applied in the Politics. I do so by showing that in the Politics Aristotle applies notably two conceptions of justice from the Ethics: his general conception of justice as complete virtue and distributive justice as one his particular conceptions.
