This volume explores Plato's and Aristotle's theories about good
things, goodness, and the best life for human beings, and draws
comparisons between ancient and modern theories of good and
justice."
Goodness and Justice" argues that goodness was the most
fundamental normative concept in the ethics of Plato and Aristotle,
and illustrates how they used their functional and formal theories
of good to build their theories of virtue, justice, and happiness.
It also shows that they fought subjective theories of good as
desire satisfaction and good as pleasure, in favor of what they
thought was a more objective concept of good found in form and
function.
The comparisons with the moderns illuminate the merits and
limits of ancient and modern ethical theories and place them within
a broad philosophical and historical context.
