We must now consider the parts of justice; (1) the subjective
parts, which are the species of justice, i.e. distributive and
commutative justice; (2) the quasi-integral parts; (3) the
quasi-potential parts, i.e. the virtues connected with justice.
The first consideration will be twofold: (1) The parts of
justice; (2) their opposite vices. And since restitution would
seem to be an act of commutative justice, we must consider (1) the
distinction between commutative and distributive justice; (2)
restitution.
Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:
(1) Whether there are two species of justice, viz. distributive
and commutative?
(2) Whether in either case the mean is take in the same way?
(3) Whether their matter is uniform or manifold?
(4) Whether in any of these species the just is the same as
counter-passion?
