Exchanging Agency: Aristotle’s Involuntary Corrective Justice and Some Applications
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.
