Is justice an ideal, forever beyond our grasp, or something that may actually guide our practical decisions and enhance our lives?In this wide-ranging book, Amartya Sen presents an alternative approach to mainstream theories of justice which, despite their many specific achievements have taken us, he argues, in the wrong direction in general. At the heart of Sen’s argument is his insistence on the role of public reason in establishing what can make societies less unjust. But it is in the nature of reasoning about justice, argues Sen, that it does not allow all questions to be settled even in theory; there are choices to be faced between alternative assessments of what is reasonable; several different and competing positions can each be well-defended.Far from rejecting such pluralities or trying to reduce them beyond the limits of reasoning, we should make use of them to construct a theory of justice that can absorb divergent points of view. Sen also shows how concern about the principles of justice in the modern world must avoid parochialism, and further, address questions of global injustice. The breadth of vision, intellectual acuity and striking humanity of one of the world's leading public intellectuals have never been more clearly shown than in this remarkable book.

评分为正当的理由杀很多人是不是正义的?三个孩子只有一个笛子,怎么分?给惟一会吹的孩子,最穷的孩子,还是那个制造它的孩子?以上两个问题和其它更多的问题都会本书中得到展示,并给出了各派不同的观点。 有些很让我震惊,比如有人写到“将饥饿的人带到街上和公路上,像杀猪那...
评分[按语:读这本书的情绪是从开始的惊喜到后来的失望。Sen在卷1中站在经验比较路径的立场对Rawls的先验制度主义的批评可谓切中要害(justice as fairness的唯一性是难以容忍的,虽然后期Rawls也做了让步),随后引介斯密的impartial spectator也算看点;但其“理性的客观性在于公...
评分其实当森的论文中没有出现一个数学符号,没有一个公式推导的时候,我以为这本书能更让人读懂,但是我错了,个人和社会偏好当没有用公式排序来表示的时候,原来更难把握。由于能力和知识的有限,我只能接触到此书的皮毛,不能完全搞明白一些逻辑关系。 森用东方人特有的智慧解...
