PREMIUM: Symposium #5 | Aristotle on Justice & Merit

In this episode of the symposium, we focus on Aristotle’s theory of justice and the notion of desert. We begin by presenting some of the most fundamental aspects of his ethical approach and discussing whether we are morally responsible persons. Then, we focus on the various kinds of justice that Aristotle identifies. We finish the discussion by talking about the notion of desert and whether it should be a consideration in debates about distributive justice.
