Quote
“The relative complexity of the three theories can be manifested by displaying in summary fashion how each theory would interpret justice with reference to its common notes and the three privileged terms, [legality, utility and right]. All three agree that justice obliges us do to something that is good and that concerns another. Spelling out what it obliges us to do, we obtain the following:
(1) It obliges us to obey the law.
(2) It obliges us to do what promotes the social good.
(3) It obliges us to render to each what belongs to him as a natural right.”— Otto A. Bird
