正义:西方道德治理思想的主线

Justice: The Main clue of Western Moral Thoughts of Ruling by Morals

道德治理是统治阶级利用国家权力发挥道德作用维护社会秩序的一种治理社会的活动。如果说中国古代道德治理思想的主要特点在于对仁政和道德教化的推崇,那么,西方道德治理思想的主线则在于对制度正义的追寻。

To rule by morals is for the ruling classes to use the power of state to maintain social order. If we say that the main features of antient Chinese ruling ethical thoughts lie in beneficance and moral education, then the chief feature of western ruling ethical thoughts lies in the pursuit of justice.
