Study Notes
Justice
- Justice is a set of universal principles that guide people in judging what is right and wrong, regardless of culture and society.
- It is one of the cardinal individual virtues of classical moral philosophy, along with fortitude (courage), temperance (self-control), and prudence (effectiveness).
- Justice is based on the maxim of suum cuique, “to each his due,” or, “to each his own.”
- The basis of justice is the dignity of each human person.
- Justice reflects the qualities of balance and equivalence, where each person deserves to be rewarded for their virtues and penalized for their vices.
Social Justice
- Social justice is the particular virtue whose object is the common good of all human society.
- It guides humans as social beings in creating and perfecting organized human interactions, or institutions.
- Social justice is the principle for restoring moral balance and harmony in the social order.
- It operates within every level of the social order, from the macro-level (the “common good” of society) to the micro-level of each organization and enterprise.
- Social justice organizes systems to provide every member with equal opportunity and access to social goods, enabling full participation in the system.
- It imposes a personal responsibility on each member to work with others to design and continually perfect institutions as tools for personal and social development.
Economic Justice
- Economic justice is a subset of social justice.
- It encompasses the moral principles that guide people in creating, maintaining, and perfecting economic institutions.
- The ultimate purpose of economic justice is to free each person economically to develop to their full potential.
- The triad of interdependent principles of economic justice are: Participative Justice (the input principle), Distributive Justice (the out-take principle), and Social Justice (the feedback and corrective principle).
- The feedback principle, also referred to as the “principle of limitation,” limits the exercise of property to prevent harm to others or the general welfare.
