SORU:

Based on Aristotle's approach, how can justice be defined?


CEVAP:

Justice must be a type of mean, namely, finding a proper balance
between two extremes: between excess and deficiency. So, for Aristotle justice is a balancing act, a fair mean. Accordingly, he argues that justice consists of treating the equal equally and the unequal unequally, which is reflected in the motto of justice: ‘treat like case alike and unlike cases differently’. This idea of justice rests on the idea of proportionate equality, which implies objectivity and neutrality in judicial-decision making, the eyes of justice are blind.
