Document Summary
But this doesn"t work because you need laws, capable judge and decency etc. Justice is about how people relate to each other, not how you relate to yourself. Particular/incomplete justice is what is being developed; not taking too much or too little for yourself in distributive, retributive (unwilling for one person and willing for other) and justice in exchange (both willing) What is a willing act can be easily brought back into the mean because what"s been lost/gained is determined. But with retributive, its hard to determine who lost what and how much. In a certain way, particular and complete justice overlap but there are also some ways that they are different. In a certain kind of likeness, there is justice/injustice with oneself. State that is properly run, according to nature, is run by the virtuous and they should get more. Just state would allow people to develop their virtues.
