Abstract

Abstract:In the fifth book of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle treats involuntary corrective justice in an interesting but somewhat confusing way. In particular, he uses a model borrowed from market transactions, such that a wrong-doer is imagined as taking excessively from a victim. But the identity of what is exchanged is left unclear. I argue that it is a record of having exercised one’s will. This leads to some surprising results, including the possibility that the actions of a living person might affect the disposition of the dead. I then apply this model to some examples from Homer, Aeschylus and Antiphon.

交换代理:亚里士多德的非自愿矫正正义及其应用

摘要:在《尼各马可伦理学》第五卷中，亚里士多德以一种有趣但又令人困惑的方式论述了非自愿纠正正义。尤其值得一提的是，他借用了一个市场交易的模型，将不法行为者想象成过度索取受害者的钱财。但交换的对象尚不清楚。我认为这是一个人行使意志的记录。这导致了一些令人惊讶的结果，包括活人的行为可能会影响死人的处置。然后，我将这个模型应用于荷马、埃斯库罗斯和安提芬的一些例子。
