罗尔斯确证其正义主题的两个路向

The Two Orientations Rawls Proved the Subject of Justice

罗尔斯对其正义主题的确证存在着两个不同的路向。纵向是以1955年发表的《两种规则概念》为始,以1967年发表的《分配正义》为转折,实现了从实践的正义到制度的正义,再到基本结构的正义的转换。横向上,罗尔斯将基本结构的正义、局部正义以及全球正义进行对比,并借此为其正义主题的选择进行论证和辩护。通过两个路向的确证,罗尔斯一方面将正义的首要主题限制在社会基本结构上,另一方面,两个正义原则起作用的方式也得以彰显。

Rawls tried to prove the subject of justice in two different orientations.The longitudinal orientation started from "Two concepts of Rules",which was published in 1955,and after that,Rawls made a transition from "justice of practices"to "justice of institutions",and from"justice of institutions"to"justice of basic structure",indicated in the article"Distributive Justice".Meanwhile,Rawls transversely compared the principles applied to the basic structure with local justice and globaljustice,the comparisons demonstrated his choice about the subject of justice.On the one hand Rawls limited the first subject of justice to the basic structure by the means of the twoorientations argue,on the other hand,the way the two principles work was clear.
