Well, of course, Aristotle never used the phrase social justice as he was simply interested in justice and didn’t need to justify the social aspects of the life he meant to prescribe because libertarians hadn’t yet come along to annoy everybody with their focus on individuals.

We’re discussing Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics today in my social justice class, just a selection, on the material on teleology, social harmony, and all those uncomfortable bits about masters and slaves. I wonder what kind of case we’ll decide to parse thinking about things from Aristotle’s perspective?
