The definitions of the meaning of justice set out by Ulpian and other jurists, may be rather superficial and facile, but there can be at least no mistake about their conviction that the law is nothing if it does not represent the principle of justice. 2 This had been the view of Aristotle, this was the view of those who, at the beginning of the Christian era, followed the Stoic tradition and principles, and the Christian doctrine is, as I have already said, properly speak- 1 Cicero, De Republic...a, i. And iii. ; De Legibus, i.
2 Digest, i. I.
THE NATURE OF GOVERNMENT 77 ing, nothing else than a translation into the terms of Christian theology of these great philosophical conceptions. It would be a great mistake, how- ever, to think that the translation and restatement were unimportant. For there was another view current in the world at that time, a view which was characteristically represented by those who followed the Epicurean tradition, a conception which denied altogether the notion of any ideal significance or meaning in justice and law, but looked upon the conception of justice as representing merely the recognition by some form of agreement, of that which was found to be convenient.
