论休谟的正义观

On Hume's View of Justice

休谟的知性论认识前提和情感主义道德观为其正义论奠定了深厚的理论基础。从正义的起源看,正义源于人的自私以及自然为人类需要所提供的不足供应。自私是正义的原始动机,而同情又是我们对正义表示道德赞许的来源。从正义的性质看,由于正义是应付人类的环境和需要所采用的人为措施或设计,因此,正义属于人为之德。

Hume＇s theory of intellectual and emotional understanding of the premise and its moral values of justice has laid a strong foundation for the theory. From the origin of justice, justice derived from the selfish and the natural human needs provided by the lack of supply. Selfishness is the original motives, and our sympathy and moral approval of justice said the source. From the nature of justice, justice is due to meet the human needs of the environment and used by man-made or design, therefore, belong to intended moral.
