Nicomachean Ethics
The principle of proportionate mutual exchange of goods, services, or treatment, examined as a candidate account of Justice.
Reciprocity however does not coincide either with Distributive or with Corrective Justice
There will therefore be reciprocal proportion when the products have been equated, so that as farmer is to shoemaker, so may the shoemaker’s product be to the farmer’s product.
(although people mean to identify it with the latter when they quote the rule of Rhadamanthys— An a man suffer even that which he did, Right justice will be done).
Nicocles or the Cyprians
A moral and political pattern in which subjects should treat others and the king as they expect to be treated, and mutual service produces common prosperity.
You should be such in your dealings with others as you expect me to be in my dealings with you.
Expect to fare well or ill according as you are disposed well or ill toward me.
just as you think those who are ruled by you should conduct themselves toward you, so you also should conduct yourselves toward my rule.
