亚里士多德公正思想探析

An Analysis of Aristotle's Thought of Justice

古希腊时期,亚里士多德对公正思想进行了系统研究。公正,就是指我们社会上的所有人都需要拥有的品质,即人们基于这一品质才有能力做出公正的行动,并且处于自愿地做公正的事情。公正是一种和他人有关的完满的德性,公正是德性之首。公正与法律的关系是很紧密的,我们可以把总体的公正理解为守法的公正,要实现守法的公正,不但要制定完备的法律体系,还要让人们学会用法律武器来维护社会的公平正义。

In ancient Greece,Aristotle studied systematically the idea of justice.Justice means that all the people in our society should have this quality.In other words,based on this quality people can make correct actions and they are willing to do the right things.Justice takes the first place among all the virtues;it is a perfect virtue which is related to others.Justice has a close relationship with law and we can understand general justice as legal justice.In order to realize the justice of law,we should not only make a complete perfect legal system but also let people take the legal weapon to maintain social fairness and justice.
