But Justice, it must be observed, is a mean state not after the

same manner as the forementioned virtues, but because it aims at

producing the mean, while Injustice occupies both the extremes.

And Justice is the moral state in virtue of which the just man is

said to have the aptitude for practising the Just in the way of

moral choice, and for making division between, himself and

another, or between two other men, not so as to give to himself

the greater and to his neighbour the less share of what is

choice-worthy and contrariwise of what is hurtful, but what is

proportionably equal, and in like manner when adjudging the

rights of two other men.
