Absztrakt
Aristotle’s fifth book of the Nicomachean Ethics offers Aristotle’s most complete treatment of justice. Besides being an invaluable source for understanding Aristotle’s virtue ethics, this account of justice is believed to have considerable bearing on Aristotle’s politics, especially his classification of constitutions, and his potential contribution to a doctrine of natural law. In this paper, I intend to tackle the problematic interpretation of political justice, and in doing so, I wish to engage both with Aristotle’s original text and its different interpretative traditions in proposing a plausible method of assessment. The principal aim of this study is, thus, to sketch out a tenable procedure for interpreting Aristotle’s idea of political justice and accommodating his potential contribution to the doctrine of natural law.
