西方自由主义公平观评述

建设社会主义和谐社会,必须体现社会公平原则,但对社会公平理论的不同理解,会导致不同社会政策的产生。在西方各种社会公平理论中,罗尔斯的公平正义理论、阿马蒂亚·森的“可行能力”平等理论和功利主义的社会福利最大化理论最具代表性。通过对这3种公平理论的比较与分析,认为其中的一些观点能帮助我国正确理解和处理当前的社会公平问题。

Review on the Viewpoint of Western Liberalist Fairness

To build a socialist harmonious society, the principle of social equity must be embodied, and different understanding to social equity will result in different social policies. In the theories of social equity in western countries, Rawls's theory of justice, Amartya·sen' s theory of capacity and Utilitarianism' s theory of the maximized welfare are representative. Through comparison and analysis between them, some points of view can help China better understand and deal with social equity problems.
