John Rawls is an important figure in the history of Western political philosophy,He spend all his life in the theory of "justice as fairness",He take Locke, Rousseau and Kant’s theory of social contract as the foundation, through the demonstration of western democratic society moral values, against traditional utilitarianism and put forward a new system of political philosophy.He proposed "all social value-the freedom and opportunity, income and wealth, self-esteem and live- need equitable distribution, unless an unequal distribution conforms to the interests of each individual person. "The theory of justice he proposed has a powerful influence to the western political philosophy and many disciplines related.More importantly, Rawls’ influence is not confined to academic circles, but has a positive effect to the reconstruction of western social value system and social organization structure.Many basic social system of the modern civilized society, such as the welfare state, different tax system, compulsory education,affected by the theory of Rawls more or less.Our country has Introduced Rawls’ theory of in the early 1980 s,many concept such as "justice as fairness", "the two justice principles" and "veil of ignorance" as the essence of Rawls’ theory, The study of the theory of Rawls is also extensive.But Viewed from the overall study of Rawls, there is much of study about his justice principle, the veil of ignorance and original position theory, but less for another important theory system he proposed:six fundamental ideals, which system is not only the foundation of Rawls’s justice social ideal realization, but also the key which forms a connecting link between the preceding and the justice theory, and it goes to the core of the social problems:people’s ideas.This article works on observing Rawls’s true life, major works and other relevant literature, tries to fully display the justice theory of Rawls, exploring the dual value of "justice as fairness" in theory and practice.On the other hand, I also try to associate his theory with China’s national conditions, consider Rawls’s theory from The reality of China, providing theoretical guidance and reference system for For our country construction with socialist characteristics of social justiceIn my opinion, if we want to realize the justice of a society, on the one hand we must pay attention to the process of building social basic system for the interests of all parties, especially the interests of socially disadvantaged group,guarantee that every citizen can enjoy basic rights and freedoms, in this respect, building a law-ruled society will play a important role;On the other hand, we should also pay attention to Set up the civil concept of justice, through various forms of publicity and education activities, To cultivate citizens’ concept of justice, law-abiding,make every single citizen can become the qualified civics Rawls envisaged "freedom and equality", after all, the society is made up of individuals, Whether can realize justice, The key is every individual in the society can set up social ideas of liberty, equality, and justice.
