  abstract: "Justice has come to be something that societies or states or institutions have. It has not always been that way. Justice began as something between individual people, and only recently has its application to larger groups become predominant. This book makes a case for recovering the original priority of justice in and between individual people, as a virtue of character. The model for this virtue comes from Aristotle, whose own notion of the virtue of justice has notable shortcomings. Here the case is made that we should understand justice in people as a matter of recognition of and respect for equal authority to obligate one another"-- Provided by publisher.
