Why aristotle conception of justice is even relevant today


Problem: Aristotle considers justice to be "complete" virtue or human excellence; indeed, he claims that in it is comprehended the whole of virtue. In other words, what virtue is in regards to oneself, justice is in regards to everyone else. Justice and virtue are but two sides of the same coin, as it were: the former concerns the whole society (how we relate to each other), whereas the latter concerns the organization of our own individual soul (the proper state of being of our own person -- in how we act, and in how we express and engage our emotions ... the manner in which we relate to ourselves). We can call this an "organic" or holistic conception of justice and human virtue: it looks at how the parts relate to the whole, and understands that the well-being of the whole is dependent on how the parts are related.

How do you think this "organic" or holistic conception of justice would change our approach to justice today? Do you think that Aristotle's conception of justice is even relevant today?
