In the History of Ideas, there are two major concepts of justice :

1. Numerical Concept of Justice: It gives an equal share to all. Bentham said, “Everyone is to count for one, nobody for more than one”. It means even unequal would be treated as equal. Modern liberal democracies are also based on this principle. Rich or poor, illiterate or literate, employed or unemployed all have the right of a single vote.
2. Geometric Concept of Justice: Plato and Aristotle favored this concept of justice. It is a concept of proportionate equality. It means an equal share to equals and unequal to unequal. According to Aristotle flutes should be distributed only among those who have the capacity for flute playing. Numerical justice is sometimes called democratic justice and geometric justice is equated with aristocratic justice.
