试论罗尔斯“重叠共识”概念

On the Conception of Rawls' "Overlapping Consensus"

罗尔斯认为,对"政治正义"达成"重叠共识",应该是多元民主社会实现正义、稳定与统一的最佳途径。"重叠共识"的本质内涵,即以政治正义为核心、自由平等公民为主体、多元民主和秩序良好社会为现实与理想、公共理性为实现途径。分析"重叠共识"与宽容原则、交往和信仰之间的关系,可以对罗尔斯的正义理论有更深的认识与理解。

How to realize social stablization becomes the center of Rawls' political liberalism. Rawls holds that getting to 'overlapping consensus' to 'political justice' is the best way to realize justice,stablization and unity in plural and democratic society. The essential meaning on 'overlapping consensus': Political justice as center; Freedom and equal citizen as subject; Plural democracy and well-ordered society as actuality and ideal. Public reason as the way to realize it. The relations between 'overlapping consensus' and tolerant principle、communication and belief may help us have further comprehension to Rawls' theory.
