Notion and Concept

fairness around specific interpretations of the ideas that citizens are free and equal and that society should be fair

First Principle: Everyone should have equal basic freedoms, as long as everyone else can have them too.
Second Principle: Inequalities are only fair if they help the least advantaged and if opportunities are open to all equally.

dialogue "The Republic" tried to explain justice as obeying the will of the stronger (those who are able to make and enforce laws in the ways that suit their ego)
the slave is inferior to its master in all ways possible - and so justice is decided by the "stronger" master
Aristotle
the key element of justice is treating similar cases in a similar manner - ruling out which similarities make two cases comparable
