    Plato- Plato says that 

    justice is not mere strength, but it is a harmonious strength

    Reflection: Justice is the whole functioning equilibrium, not merely the right of the stronger. All
    moral notions center around the good of the whole—both personally and socially. Plato's concept
    of justice highlights the component of human virtue as well as the link that connects man
    together in society. 

    Aristotle says justice consists in what is lawful and fair, with fairness involving equitable
    distributions and the correction of what is inequitable.

    Reflection: In response to Aristotle's idea of justice, I believe that justice is the proper means to
    remedy someone's fault. The law must be followed, and it must be equitable to all those seeking
    justice.

    Kant's theory of justice is designed to apply to actions and only to actions, but intentionality is
    integral to the description of some actions (such as premeditated murder), and the laws of justice
    may be directed at these kinds of actions as well as at those to which intentionality is not
    integral.

    Reflection: Kant's conception of justice is based on the notion that those who overlook or violate
    the rights of others should be punished.
