Munich Reprints in Economics from University of Munich, Department of Economics

Abstract: The Gestalt view of ethics, as developed by the Gestalt psychologists in the middle of the 20th century, led to a particular theory of justice which avoided the shortcomings of other (emotive or cognitive) approaches. It took the rules of justice as being based ultimately on the fundamental laws of our psychological make-up.
