DENICOL, Karina A.  and  BITTENCOURT, Paulo J. S.. CONCEPTION OF JUSTICE IN ARISTOTLE. Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito [online]. 2022, n.14, pp.57-77.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 2183-6396.  https://doi.org/10.19135/revista.consinter.00014.01.

The research focused on the concept of justice for Aristotle, to investigate the historical and philosophical bases of this thought and contextualization with institutions existing in Athens and Greece at his time, as well as the political framework that allowed the emergence of his theories. Furthermore, starting from justice as something anthropological and no longer linked to religion, it was intended to investigate the various notions of justice for the philosopher, as political justice, that derived from the relationship between men, established by the laws. In addition, it focuses on distributive, teleological and corrective justice. The results found, obtained through bibliographic research, historical-contextual framing and semantic-conceptual analysis of philosophical texts, demonstrate that the evolution of the Aristotelian notion of justice forged both a revolutionary foundation for the time in question and a classical tradition of thought which clarifies the contemporary links between Law and Ethics.
