Ο ΗΡΑΚΛΕΙΤΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΔΙΚΑΙΟ
Heraclitus and the concept of “Justice” Thrasivoulos Kontaxis, Attorney-at-law, PhD Abstract: Heraclitus, through the eternal, harmonious synthesis of the op- posites, introduced the meaning of the measure and the midway, which is reliably served by the Law, (that distributes), and Justice (awarded to eve- ryone). Furthermore, he established the principle of individual responsibil- ity (liability), namely the principle of fault, based on common sense, in the light of the imperfectness of human nature, which may be the cause of a negligent behavior. Setting the concept of“logos”and“reality”(the fact) – in contrast with the sensation, feeling, opinions, etc. – as the reference point of everything, his contribution has been of an incalculable worth not only for legal studies but the overall cultural evolution of mankind.
