亚里士多德的分配正义观

亚里士多德把正义和善视为城邦优良生活的必要。正义并不是绝对的平等,在于合乎比例的分配,配给得当,各得其所。这种分配的正义观可使城邦各阶级相安无事。当不公正的事情发生时,就需要一种矫正机制,失有所得,损有所补,恶有所罚,这就是矫正的正义。这种矫正要发挥效力,必须借助于法律。"法律是没有感情的智慧","是中道的制衡",要实现法治需要良法和人们的遵守。

Aristotle's Concept of Distributive Justice

Aristotle viewed justice and good as necessary parts in a qualified life in a state. Justice means that distribution must be in accordance with proportionate proportion instead of absolute equality, and that everyone is properly provided for. This viewpoint of distributive justice can keep all classes in order. When unjust things happen, a rectificable mechanism is required. Rectificatory justice means that loss and damages will be made up, and that the wicked must be punished. Only by virtue of the law can this rectification be effective. ＂The law is emotionless intelligence, as well as the moderation of checks and balance＂. Good laws and people＇s compliance are required to realize the rule of law.
