Document Summary

Concerning justice and injustice, we must examine what sort of actions they happen to be concerned with, as well as what sort of mean justice is and of what things the just is a middle term. Everyone wishes to say that justice is the sort of characteristic on the basis of which people are disposed to do just things and on the basis of which they act justle and wish for just things. It is the same way also concerning injustice that it is that on the basis of which people are unjust and wish for unjust things. What holds in the case of the sciences and capacities does not hold in that of the characteristics: the same capacity or science seems to pertain to opposites, but a characteristic does not seem to pertain to opposites. Aristotle defines the just" as lawful and equal, and the unjust" is what is unlawful and unequal.
