契约论并不排斥残疾人的正义权利——驳努斯鲍姆对罗尔斯的一个批评

Contract Theory Exclude the Right of Justice for the Disabled——Refuting Nussbaum's Criticism of Rawls

当代著名政治哲学家努斯鲍姆对罗尔斯的契约论提出了系统的批评,指出契约论的某些核心要素和理论预设导致它无法容纳残疾人的正义权利。然而,通过对"大致相似""相互性""道德能力"等观念的澄清,可以发现,努斯鲍姆的批评对罗尔斯的理论并不构成致命的威胁。如果得到恰当理解的话,罗尔斯的契约论仍然可被视为一种具有包容性的正义理论进路。

In recent years, contemporary famous political philosopher Nussbaum has systematically criticized Rawls＇s contract theory, and pointed out that some of the core elements and theoretical assumptions of contract theory made it dif- ficult to accommodate the right of justice for the disabled. However, by clarifying conceptions of ＂rough similarity＂, ＂re- ciprocity＂, and ＂moral power＂, the paper argues that Nussbaum＇s criticism does not pose a fatal threat to Rawls＇s theo- ry. If properly understood, Rawls＇s contract theory is still regarded as an inclusive theoretical approach to justice.
