The importance of justice

Aristotle thought that the objective of politics was to help us in order to achieve the common 00:00:00
good of everybody, the collective happiness of a society. 00:00:08
But this is only possible if there is justice in society. 00:00:13
So justice is an essential value for politics. 00:00:17
Have you ever stopped to think what justice means? 00:00:21
We talk about justice frequently, for example when we say this is unfair, this is unjust. 00:00:27
What do we mean when we say that? 00:00:33
Aristotle thought about this and he discovered that justice can have different meanings. 00:00:36
For example, justice can mean legality. 00:00:41
We say sometimes that things are just when they are done according to the law. 00:00:45
But most generally, Aristotle thought, when we talk about justice, we refer to two different 00:00:51
meanings which are the commutative justice and the distributive justice. 00:00:58
What is commutative justice? 00:01:04
Commutative justice refers to dealings. 00:01:06
For example, when we trade, when we sell or buy something. 00:01:10
If I sell something to you, what is it just to receive? 00:01:15
It is just that you give me something that has the same value as the thing I have given to you. 00:01:20
So in dealings, commutative justice applies and it refers to an equality in what we give 00:01:26
and what we get. 00:01:35
But this is not all. 00:01:38
There is also another meaning of justice. 00:01:39
Justice can also be interpreted as distributive justice, which is applied when we distribute 00:01:43
things. 00:01:49
Think about distributing the marks. 00:01:51
The teacher has made an exam and he is giving the class their marks. 00:01:55
Would it be just if the teacher gave everybody 5 points over 10 regardless of their merit 00:02:01
of what they did? 00:02:09
Of course not. 00:02:11
Here what is just is that the teacher gives each person what they deserve and some people 00:02:12
deserve more because they have more merit, their results are better. 00:02:18
Or think about citizens who pay their taxes. 00:02:23
Would it be fair that everybody paid the same amount of money regardless of their wealth? 00:02:27
Of course not. 00:02:33
It is just that people who are rich pay more money than people who are poor. 00:02:35
So when we talk about these kinds of distributions, when we distribute benefits or charges, good 00:02:41
or bad things, we are talking about distributive justice. 00:02:48
Distributive justice refers to give and receive according to your merit or your needs. 00:02:52
Thinking about all these different meanings of justice, justice as legality, or commutative 00:03:01
justice, or distributive justice, how would you define what justice is? 00:03:07
It is not an easy task. 00:03:13
Aristotle thought that, generally speaking, justice could be defined as giving everyone 00:03:15
what they deserve. 00:03:22
But this depends on the situation. 00:03:24
Sometimes giving you what you deserve is marked by the law, sometimes it has to do with dealings 00:03:27
and the important thing here is to be fair in equality, and sometimes it has to be with 00:03:32
distributions. 00:03:38
