Abstract

The hereby thesis is a bibliographic research focusing on an investigation regarding the «otherness» and «justice» relationship. In order for the research objective to be achieved, both terms, as well as their relationship, are examined through a critical confrontation with the source texts of the most important representatives of ancient greek thinking: Plato, Aristotle, the Late Modernity philosophers (Nietzsche, Kant), and the prolific interpretation of the New Testament word and early Christianity intellectuals (Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, John of Damascus). The first chapter examines the conception of «otherness» as a genus and a relationship category in Plato's Sophist. Subsequently, an attempt is made to investigate «otherness» as a society fact and non-conductive self-image in the early Cristianity intellectuals' scripts. As the third part of the task focuses on studying the platonic version of «justice» as retribution, as well as a way to associate «self» and «other». In closing, the fourth chapter scrutinizes «perfect» justice as a foreign privilege, which requires the existence of «other» for administration of justice and the three sorts of "partial" justice: distributive, corrective and reciprocal justice in Aristotle.
