Whether truth is a part of justice?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It seems that truth is not a part of justice. For it seems proper to justice to give another man his due. But, by telling the truth, one does not seem to give another man his due, as is the case in all the foregoing parts of justice. Therefore truth is not a part of justice.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, truth pertains to the intellect: whereas justice is in the will, as stated above (Question [58], Article [4]). Therefore truth is not a part of justice.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, according to Jerome truth is threefold, namely, "truth of life," "truth of justice," and "truth of doctrine." But none of these is a part of justice. For truth of life comprises all virtues, as stated above (Article [2], ad 3): truth of justice is the same as justice, so that it is not one of its parts; and truth of doctrine belongs rather to the intellectual virtues. Therefore truth is nowise a part of justice.
