According
to Aristotle, justice is often considered to be a higher form of virtue than
others because it involves a situation where an individual undertakes an action
that is right, no matter the consequences. Justice is a higher form of virtue
because it allows for the advancement of the needs of individuals in society.
Individuals who love justice are committed wholly to it to such an extent that
even though they have to take an action that goes against their own interests,
they do so for the sake of justice. This is an extremely important step
especially considering that justice is essentially blind, and it focuses mainly
on the achievement of the satisfaction of all members of society. The
advancement of these needs means that those who undertake just actions are
individuals that have the ability to ensure that there is the creation of an
environment where all other virtues are tied together to prevent individuals
from committing injustices against one another. Justice is a higher form of
virtue because it brings together all other virtues in such a way that
injustices in society are prevented and there is instead the promotion of a
level of equality in the lives of all individuals, who end up finding pleasure
in life itself.
