The paper argues that the balanced relationship between freedom and justice enables man to achieve the social good ontologically speaking (agathon), i.e. the one that holds together everything that exists. Reflecting the ontological Good on a social level is made on zoon politikon translated by “being together with the others,” where freedom and justice coexist in equilibrium. Justice and thus lay contribute to the achievement of ontological Good by the fair sharing of the existing goods on a social level and by hu-man equality before courts.
