 Justice, as Foot realizes, cannot be motivated by the same concern for the good of others. Justice notoriously comes into conflict with the good of others, as there may be cases where people would be well-served by a false accusation or the redistribution of money owed to a rich man to the poor. This leads Foot to posit that just persons are concerned with truth, liberty and that they “want every man to be treated with a certain respect” ([1972 [VV 165]). On Foot’s view, then, a morally good agent has a variety of independent commitments which make considerations of the well-being and the rights of others yield reasons. She evidently thinks this is a plausible psychological picture that has not been given sufficient consideration, due to the assumption that morality consists of categorical imperatives.
