罗尔斯对西方传统社会契约论思想发展的贡献

Rawls' contributions to the development of Western traditional contractualism

罗尔斯的社会契约论思想在西方社会契约论发展的总体历程中具有重要地位。在继承西方传统社会契约论的基础上,罗尔斯在《正义论》中把社会契约论作为一种程序理性或发现正义的方法来演绎其作为公平的正义观,实现了西方传统社会契约论思想在现代的复兴。

Rawls＇ oontraetualism played an important role in the development of Western eontraetualism. In the base of inheriting the western traditional eontraetualism, Rawls took the eontraetualism as a rational process or a way to find the jnstiee and interpreted a kind of theory of justice. So he made great contributions to the renaissance of eontraetualism in the modem society.
