LA COMPLÉMENTARITÉ DU JUSTE ET DU BIEN.

Typical of modern reflections on justice is a distinction – absent in classical philosophy – between the standpoint of the right or of justice and that of the good. Those who have insisted on the sharpness of the distinction have argued mostly for the priority of the just. This paper will question the entanglement of the distinction between the right and the good and the question of which of these notions has priority. This will lead in turn to a defence of the idea that these notions are in fact complementary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
