Question 58 — Justice

We must now consider justice. Under this head there are twelve points of inquiry:

(1) What is justice?

• (2) Whether justice is always towards another?
• (3) Whether it is a virtue?
• (4) Whether it is in the will as its subject?
• (5) Whether it is a general virtue?
• (6) Whether, as a general virtue, it is essentially the same as every virtue?
• (7) Whether there is a particular justice?
• (8) Whether particular justice has a matter of its own?
• (9) Whether it is about passions, or about operations only?
• (10) Whether the mean of justice is the real mean?
• (11) Whether the act of justice is to render to everyone his own?
• (12) Whether justice is the chief of the moral virtues?
