霍耐特对主流正义理论的批判

Honneth's Criticism of the Mainstream Theory of Justice

法兰克福学派的第三代所长霍耐特对以罗尔斯为代表的主流正义理论进行了批驳:主流正义理论以分配范式作为正义理论的主题,局限于消极自由的实现,无法解释人们对益品的共同兴趣;主流正义理论将程序主义作为正义理论的建构方法,无法充分阐明实现个体自由所需的社会前提条件,导致社会分析与规范分析的脱节;主流正义理论将国家作为实现正义的唯一机构,没有意识到国家无法解决所有领域的正义问题。霍耐特对主流正义理论的批判在一定程度上拓宽了马克思主义的问题域,对我们建构当代中国政治哲学具有启发和借鉴意义。

Honneth,the third director of the Frankfurt School,criticized the mainstream theory of justice represented by Rawls:First of all,the mainstream justice theory takes the distribution paradigm as the theme of justice theory.The concept of justice in the distribution paradigm limited to the realization of negative freedom and cannot explain people's common interest in goods.Secondly,the mainstream justice theory regards proceduralism as the construction method of justice theory,which cannot fully clarify the social preconditions required to realize individual freedom,resulting in the disconnection between social analysis and normative analysis.Finally,the mainstream theory of justice regards the state as the only institution to achieve justice,without realizing that the state cannot solve the problem of justice in all fields.
