Abstract

We review in this study, how justice was designed and explained by the ancient Greek philosophers, reveling, in their interpretation, that justice had meaning only by reporting it to the moral good, which represents a fundamental condition for training and functioning of the supreme moral value. Justice takes shape in this context as a middle- value, which is present wherever there are relations between individuals and human community. In the same interpretation, the formation of state and the regulation of social conduct based on social legal laws require justice based on legality, now operating as the supreme juridical value.
