Differentiate between formal and material justice


Formal justice, as attributed to Aristotle, is that equals must be treated equally, and unequals must be treated unequally. Formal justice does not attempt to provide any criteria for the determination of equality and does not state in what respect equals are to be treated, except that they must be treated equally. Material justice requires that the criteria used to distribute a scarce resource be morally relevant.
