Explores Aquinas's concept of justice - and why it matters today.
"Aquinas," says Jean Porter, "gets justice right." In this book she
shows that Aquinas offers us a cogent and illuminating account of
justice as a personal virtue rather than a virtue of social
institutions, as John Rawls and his interlocutors have described it
- and as most people think of it today. Porter presents a
thoughtful interpretation of Aquinas's account of the complex
virtue of justice as set forth in the Summa theologiae, focusing on
his key claim that justice is a perfection of the will. Building on
her interpretation of Aquinas on justice, Porter also develops a
constructive expansion of his work, illuminating major aspects of
Aquinas's views and resolving tensions in his thought so as to draw
out contemporary implications of his account of justice that he
could not have anticipated.
