Justice is a human virtue that is at once unconditional and conditional. Under favourable circumstances, we can be motivated to act justly by the belief that we must live up to what justice requires, irrespective of whether we benefit from doing so. But, our will to act justly is subject to conditions. We find it difficult to exercise the virtue of justice when others regularly fail to. Even if we appear to have overcome the difficulty, our reluctance often betrays itself in certain moral emotions. In this book, Jiwei Ci explores the dual nature of justice, in an attempt to make unitary sense of key features of justice reflected in its close relation to resentment, punishment and forgiveness. Rather than pursue a search for normative principles, he probes the human psychology of justice to understand what motivates moral agents who seek to behave justly, and why their desire to be just is as precarious as it is uplifting. A wide-ranging treatment of enduring questions, "The Two Faces of Justice" can also be read as a remarkably discerning contribution to the Western discourse on justice re-launched in our time by John Rawls.

評分 評分當你發現,自己的憤恨其實更多的齣自自利的動機,你厭惡他人侵害你的利益甚於他們破壞公平和正義,你不必感到羞愧,這隻是說明,你擁有瞭自省的能力。《正義的兩麵》說,利己主義是正義形成的必要條件之一,人沒有自私的傾嚮,正義也就沒有存在的必要瞭。 “除非自欺,利己主...
評分正義既不是純粹的利己主義,也不是純粹的利他主義,它界於兩者之間,同時兼有兩者的特徵。正義的人認為他人的行為對我是有利的纔是正義,同時我也會剋製自己的行為使他人也能獲利。這就像社會契約論一樣,它是某個人於社會其他人達成的協議,這個協議大概是,我為人人,人人為...
評分According to Jiwei Ci, The Two Faces of Justice (TFJ) is based on the following empirical observation: “if someone’s unjust acts were not refrained or punished, then others who desire justice would imitate those unjust persons’ to some extent, and the un...
