Document Summary
In book 1, the i(cid:374)itial (cid:395) is (cid:862)(cid:449)hat is justi(cid:272)e(cid:863) Early definitions are weak so someone proposes a new definition.

N said it was in the interest of the barbarian to impose its will on the conquered race. Is(cid:374)"t it possi(cid:271)le that (cid:396)ule(cid:396)s a(cid:396)e (cid:449)(cid:396)o(cid:374)g a(cid:271)out (cid:449)hat (cid:449)ill (cid:271)e(cid:374)efit the(cid:373). They (cid:373)ake la(cid:449)s (cid:449)ith (cid:448)ie(cid:449)s that will benefit them but it might be a mistake and it actually might not benefit them.

Hit and run example: its obvious what the just thing to do (take victim to hospital) th and s agree on this.
