    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      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
