Summary/Abstract: In the article, there are presented two situations wherein the application of a particular concept of justice appears as injustice. The first case refers to the feminist interpretation of Aristotle’s philosophy of justice, more specifically his “responsibility” for the exclusion of women from the public sphere. It also refers generally to the feminist criticism of the canon of political thought. The second one covers the area of interpersonal relations, especially between parents and children.
