Justice as Fairness

Justice as Fairness

《正義即公平:正義新論》(*Justice as Fairness: A Restatement*)是美國哲學家約翰·羅爾斯於2001年出版的哲學著作,由其哈佛大學政治哲學課程講義修訂而成,延續並整合了《正義論》《政治自由主義》的核心觀點。

該書以重構社會基本結構的正義原則為核心,提出在原初狀態與無知之幕假設下,自由平等的公民通過理性選擇確立公平合作條款的理論框架。針對多元社會的價值分歧,羅爾斯主張以公共理性為基礎實現道德共識,強調社會經濟不平等需滿足差別原則——即有利於最不利群體利益最大化。書中系統闡釋了財產所有制民主、機會平等原則等制度設計,並通過回應自由主義與社群主義的理論爭議,完善了“作為公平的正義”的哲學基礎。該理論對當代政治哲學、套用倫理學及社會治理研究產生了方法論層面的影響。

內容簡介

This volume originated as lectures for a course on political philosophy that Rawls taught regularly at Harvard in the 1980s. In time the lectures became a restatement of his theory of justice as fairness, revised in light of his more recent papers and his treatise Political Liberalism (1993). John Rawls offers a broad overview of his main lines of thought and also explores specific issues never before addressed in any of his writings. Rawls is well aware that since the publication of "A Theory of Justice" in 1971, American society has moved farther away from the idea of justice as fairness. Yet his ideas retain their power and relevance to debates in a pluralistic society about the meaning and theoretical viability of liberalism. This book demonstrates that moral clarity can be achieved even when a collective commitment to justice is uncertain.
