Card 18 / 63: Why does Aristotle think that justice seems to be supreme among the virtues, and that in justice all virtue is summed up?
A) Justice can only be derived by abstracting from all the other, more worldly virtues, and by coming to an understanding of formal reality.
B) All virtue is summed up in justice because there is no basic virtue that we might not be required to exercise in acting justly. It is supreme because its exercise perfects each of the other virtues in being for the good of another person.
C) Justice is perfectly aligned with the rational part of the soul, and is not tainted by the emotions like the other virtues.
D) When administered correctly, justice structures society in perfect alignment with the world of the gods.
