Confucian notion of justice (yi) has different meanings, the most primary of which refers to a person's righteousness or the appropriateness of one's action. [Joseph Chan, 2001, R. 2019]Let the restless and the unjust depart and flee from You. You both see them and distinguish the shadows. And lo! All things with them are fair, yet they themselves are foul. And how have they injured You? Or in what have they disgraced Your government, which is just and perfect from heaven even to the lowest parts of the earth. For whither fled they when they fled from Your presence? Or where do You not find them? But they fled that they might not see You seeing them, and blinded might stumble against You; Genesis 16:13-14 since You forsake nothing that You have made — that the unjust might stumble against You, and justly be hurt, withdrawing themselves from Your gentleness, and stumbling against Your uprightness, and falling upon their own roughness.--- St. Augustine, Confessions Book VConfessiones) is an autobiographical work by Saint Augustine of Hippo, consisting of 13 books written in Latin between AD 397 and 400.IEP 2019: The Augustinian notion of justice includes what by his day was a well-established definition of justice of “giving every man his due.”
