[Insert name]: The virtue of justice involves respecting the rights of others and avoiding any interference as long as it doesn’t tamper with other’s rights. For example, as Kant defines justice, it entails respecting other people’s autonomy, freedom and dignity without interfering with their actions as long they don’t violate other people’s rights (LeBar, 2014).
Socrates: Justice is a soul’s virtue, and any form of injustice is a vice (LeBar, 2014). This means if something performs well, it ensures justice in that performance, but lack of this virtue leads to bad performance. Thus, justice has an intrinsic and extrinsic value. The virtue will be selected for its rewards and consequence.
