Justice is the basic principle and basic standard of mankind society that contains eternal value. Justice is the theoretical basis of establishing the reasonable social system and the moral system. It penetrates broadly in some fields of philosophy, politics, economics and ethic and becomes a fundamental problem that philosophers and thinkers from ancient to the present have been focusing on. A THEORY OF JUSTICE of John Rawls was published in 1971, which brought great influence to the west. The justice of theory is thought as one of the greatest achievements in the fields of political philosophy, moral philosophy and law philosophy.The route of the justice of theory is set forth below: Taking the basic social structure as the object, the liberal equality as the core, establishment of a justice society as the purpose and the abstract and dummy as demonstrated character .Its core content is to explain and argue the freedom principle and equality of opportunity, difference principle which correspond with two major parts of social basic structure: The first is about citizen's political right an obligation which takes establishment and guarantee of the citizen's equality as the core; the second is about social benefits and the distribution field of economic benefits which is applied to producing some reasonable unequal in order to ensure interests of the weak. Rawls exactly attempts to mediate the contradiction between freedom and equal from the western political theories by distinguishing these two fields.One of the reasons of prevalence of the justice of theory is turning justice theme to the lay of social system that emphasizes the precedence of system justice. There were a lot of limitations existing in the justice of theory, which is inevitable. But John Rawls puts forward such valuable standpoints and thoughts as considerations for vulnerable groups, equal opportunity and sacred right of the liberal equality. The theory is significant to resolve the problems that appear in the Chinese society's transformation.The paper is divided into three parts: the content of the theory of justice of John Rawls, comment of the theory of justice of John Rawls form the positive and the negative, apocalypse of the theory of justice.
