Justice is a fundamental conception in the Aristotelian ethical-political theory. It is the virtue that rules the relations of men in the city. According to Aristotle, justice is a character’s inclination that makes men tendentious to do and to desire the righteous. This first sense of justice is called absolute and corresponds to the virtue in its totality while equality, a part of virtue, will be the object of justice in its particular character. The particular justice is present in the way of acting correctly in relation to the other, taking into consideration the equality. This second conception of justice and its species, i.e. the distributive, corrective and reciprocal justice, object of this present study which intends to show how this private justice, that exists in the private relations of men in the city, characterizes itself and is developed.
