Abstract
Elucidating the status of the concept of justice as a secondary philosophical intelligible and criticizing its being a carnal faculty of the soul
Justice is an attribute that God, the system of existence, man, and society can be attributed to. One of the most important issues that can help to clarify the different dimensions of justice is that what is the true substratum of the attribute of justice? Does justice have its own special substratum in each case, or it is one thing in all cases? This article has proved in a descriptive-analytic way that the subject-matter of justice is just one thing in everywhere and that is act. If objects and people are characterized by justice it is in terms of the actions that are issued from them or the actions that take place in their cases. Proving of this idea leads to some different results that can help to solve the various issues that have been raised about justice in terms of ethics, jurisprudence, philosophy, theology, etc. These results can also guarantee the necessity of this discussion.
