Talk About The Enlightenment Of Rawls' Just Principles To The Social Just Problem Of China In Transformation Period

What is the justice, what is the standard of justice, how to realize social justice is the question that people are considering constantly through the ages. Different opinions about justice have appeared with the development of the times and changes of the social contradiction. In numerous just theories, "A Theory of Justice "which came from, John Rawls, a famous political philosopher of U.S.A. in the seventies of the 20th century takes the course of its own. "A Theory of Justice "which has propose two just principles, has caused a lasting discussion about the justice and promotes human thinking of social justice enter one dark level and realm.On the basis of theory of the social agreement, Rawls has proposed two just principles that are abbreviated as the freedom principle and difference principle. These two principles correspond to two major parts of social basic structure. The first principle is about citizen's political right and obligation, its purpose lies in establishing and guaranteeing the citizen's equality; The second principle is about social benefits and the distribution field of economic benefits, its purpose lies in producing some reasonable unequal in order to ensure interests of the weak. Through distinguishing these two fields, Rawls exactly attempts to mediate the contradiction between freedom and equal that came from the western political theory.As a thinker of the capitalist class, Rawls' just principle obviously has its class stand and limitation of historical era. His theory has been queried and denied by the new Conservatism and Community's doctrine in the western society. The scholars of China have also put forward own opinions on the practice questions of the Chinese society and Marxism's view of social justice.We should see that the freedom and equal question involved in Rawls' just principles exists in any social shape. It has not merely deep behavior in the capitalist society, but also exists in the socialist society. The Chinese society is in a key transformation period at present. After more than 20 years reform and opening-up and tremendous development of market economy, we have already made the universally acknowledged achievement in our economic construction. But meanwhile, the social just problem of the crisis social stability is followed. It is the main colony's weak tendency and the bigger gap between rich and poor. How to reflect socialist essence and realize the social justice are both a theoretical question and the realistic problem urgently to be solved of. The thought of equal opportunities and society adjusts reflected in Rawls' juct principle has much enlightenment to our reform and market economy at present. So, according to Rawls ' just principles and Marxism's view of social justice, this text tries hard to propose some suggestions and ideas to solve the problemsappeared in the Chinese society's transformation. I expect that this text will play some function to the harmonious society which structures fair justice in the theory discussion.
