摘要
正义问题是一个历史悠久而又与时俱进的话题。自柏拉图、亚里多德以来,
人们从未间断对正义问题的追问与探索。在正义问题的研究中,哈佛大学显然走
在世界的前列。当代正义理论大家:罗尔斯、诺齐克、沃尔泽同为该校的知名教
授。中国人对罗尔斯、诺齐克的正义理论颇为熟悉,而对沃尔泽的分配正义理论
则甚为陌生。本文试图对沃尔泽分配正义理论作详细的介绍与深刻的评价,从而
弥补我国学界在此方面的不足。
沃尔泽分配正义理论与罗尔斯、诺齐克的正义观有很深的渊源。其分配正义
的实质是多元正义即在诸善分配领域中,正义的标准是多元的。他倡导的多元分
配正义是为了消除局部领域内的简单平等,去追求所有领域内的复合平等。沃尔
泽分配正义理论立足于成员资格,强调的是共同体价值,奉行的是“公益政治”。
其分配正义标准是相对于特殊社群的社会意义而言的。他所关注的所有善都具有
社会性、历史性。因此他是社群主义的倡导者,他的分配正义理论具有浓厚的相
对主义特色。
当今我国正在建设社会主义和谐社会,而和谐社会的价值取向是正义,我们
应该更加关注社会公平正义。恰逢其时,对沃尔泽分配正义理论的研究既具有理
论价值,又拥有现实意义。
