Document Summary
Law is reason free from all pasion . Property is just mere instruments or possessions. Justice is equality, but only for equals; and justice is inequality, but only for those who are unequal. (not necessarily important) the case of the hero is slightly more illuminating with respect to aristotle"s notion of varying degrees of prudence. Still, the caricature again places such an individual outside normal political life. The hero is so distinguished on account of virtue that citizenship (understood as the appropriate participation in ruling) is moot with respect to the other people of the city. For they will be done an injustice if it is claimed they merit equal things in spite of being so unequal in virtue and political capacity; for such a person would likely be like a god among human beings. Property- possessions, thoughts, knowledge, justice, and happiness. Roman law was an engagement resting restraints on popular will.
