Description: Survey of justice as a virtue from Plato to Rawls; by Michael Slote.
Justice as a Virtue (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Fri Mar 8, 2002; substantive revision Wed Sep 8, 2010 When we speak of justice as a virtue, we are usually referring to a trait of individuals, even if we conceive the justice of individuals as having some (grounding) reference to social justice. But Rawls and others regard justice as “the first virtue of social institutions” (1971, p. 3), so “justice as a virtue” is actually ambiguous as between individual and social applications. This essay will reflect and explore that ambiguity, though the principal focus will understandably be on the justice of individuals.
