    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Justice requires neutrality about moral character; rectification targets harm suffered, not perpetrator's virtue or vice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A baseline of rightful entitlements exists independent of parties' moral qualities; wrongs disturb this baseline objectively.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Aristotle's corrective justice explicitly contrasts with distributive justice, which considers character; rectification does not.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Corrective justice remedies must reflect the moral culpability of the wrongdoer; pure baseline restoration ignores this dimension.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Aristotle's texts discuss intention and vice when determining whether an act constitutes an injustice warranting rectification.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Victims' vulnerability to harm sometimes depends on their virtue; justice responsive to actual wrongs cannot ignore this context.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
