“反思平衡”之反思

Reflections on "Reflective Equilibrium"

反思平衡是在比较多种正义原则的情况下,在深思熟虑的道德判断、正义原则和背景理论三者之间的一种平衡;反思平衡是证明正义原则的主要方法;反思平衡是融合主义而不是基础主义;反思平衡具有一定的证明力,但是也具有局限性。

Reflective equilibrium is the equilibrium among considered moral judgment, justice principles and background theories under the conditions of comparing different justice principles. Reflective equilibrium is Rawls＇s main way of justification. Reflective equilibrium is coherentism but not foundationalism. Although reflective equilibrium can justify Rawls＇s justice principies, it has its limits on justification.
