书籍介绍

这本书起源于20世纪80年代罗尔斯在哈佛大学定期教授的一门政治哲学课程的讲座。随着时间的推移，这些演讲重新陈述了他的正义即公平的理论，并根据他最近的论文和他的论文《政治自由主义》(1993)进行了修订。正如罗尔斯在前言中所写的那样，这一重述“在一个地方展现了对正义的描述，就像我现在看到的公平一样，借鉴了(我以前的)所有作品。”他提供了一个广泛的概述，也探索了具体的问题。

This book originated as lectures for a course on political philosophy that Rawls taught regularly at Harvard in the 1980s. In time the lectures became a restatement of his theory of justice as fairness, revised in light of his more recent papers and his treatise Political Liberalism (1993). As Rawls writes in the preface, the restatement presents "in one place an account of justice as fairness as I now see it, drawing on all [my previous] works." He offers a broad overview of his main lines of thought and also explores specific issues never before addressed in any of his writings.

罗尔斯清楚地意识到，自1971年《正义理论》出版以来，美国社会已经远离了将正义视为公平的观念。然而，他的观点在一个多元社会关于自由主义的意义和理论可行性的辩论中仍然具有影响力和相关性。这本书表明，即使在对正义的集体承诺不确定的情况下，道德的明确性也是可以实现的。

Rawls is well aware that since the publication of A Theory of Justice in 1971, American society has moved farther away from the idea of justice as fairness. Yet his ideas retain their power and relevance to debates in a pluralistic society about the meaning and theoretical viability of liberalism. This book demonstrates that moral clarity can be achieved even when a collective commitment to justice is uncertain.
