CHAPTER 11
Justice
INTRODUCTION
The concept of justice is an integral part of political philosophy. Since ancient times scholars argued about the conception of justice. Plato’s ‘Republic’ is one of the classical texts where we have seen diverse conceptions of justice. Aristotle also presented his vision of ‘Proportional Justice’ in his work ‘Nicomachean Ethics’ and in ‘Politics’ book. The idea of justice initially started as a philosophical view based on morals and ethics. In modern political thought, it moved towards the idea of liberty and equality of citizens in the eyes of the state. In contemporary political thought, justice is concerned with the allocation of goods, services, opportunities, benefits, power, and honours in society.
