Document Summary
Connected to many things like mind-body problem. Why plato have sign over academy no one who is not versed in geometry should enter here? . Can understand ^ from reading aristotle on distributive + rectificatory justice which he reduces to proportions. The just is the proportional; the unjust is what violates the proportion (752 c1) Equality of ratios, like as line a is to line b, so is line c to line d (751 c2) Arithmetical proportion is a b = c d. Distributive justice: manifested in distribution of money/other things that fall to be dived among those who have a share in the constitution. Rectificatory justice: in transaction b/w one man and another. If a:b = c:d then goods c and d will be distributed in proportion to the merit of the 2 ppl a and b involved in the transaction.
