| Summary: | "[Book title] retraces the intricate history of the distinction between corrective and distributive justice. This distinction is elaborated in the 5th book of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics ... After a decline in interest in the wake of the enlightenment and secularization, a revival of these notions of justice occurred in U.S. legal and philosophical discourse during the last four decades that has made this distinction a central issue in tort law, restitution, and other important fields of private and public law. ... [author's] project gives readers an historical perspective that is vital for a deepened understanding of the distinction between corrective and distributive justice and modern concerns."--Book jacket. |
