: : CAN ANYONE TELL ME A SUMMARY OF AUGUSTIANIAN JUSTICE
: His concept of justice: if that refers to final justice, it was his general belief that the sin of Adam, as it lives in each of us had to be made up through the sacrifice of Christ. The number of souls who would receive final justice, i.e. heaven, would exactly equal the number of angels who rebeled against God.
: If, on the other hand, you are interested in justice as a virtue, he would of followed the general Greco-Roman understanding as it was popularized by Plato in the Republic. This was roughly speaking given each his due, giving God what was his by right. Justice was a pervasive idea to the ancient world that evoked the life well lived, the balance of beauty in the being, life and appearence of things, the idea of a thing in its truest reality. So in this sense, justice is operating toward something in respect of its truest reality. Hope that helps.
