摘要

本文檢討羅爾斯原初位置的想法，提出何以該想法需要調整，並說明如何由儒學觀點，改良羅爾斯正義即公平的原則。在難以調和的價值衝突與深度歧見的問題上，羅爾斯的看法，雖精義迭出，但仍有其限制。確切來說，循羅爾斯的政治觀點，我們看不到，因此也無從去處理，總隱含在現代民主過程中自毀的力量。我嘗試把儒學作為一種公民哲學來發展，從而梳理出一種合宜的、能克服羅爾斯觀點限制的公民哲學的理念。

This paper examines Rawls's idea of the original position, argues for a fine-tuning of that idea, and proposes a Confucian revision of the principles of justice as fairness. My argument also reveals a limitation of Rawls's approach to intractable value conflict and deep disagreement - namely, that it fails to detect, and thus pays no attention to, the fact that there are always self-defeating forces implicit in modern democratic processes. I argue for an idea of civic philosophy, and develop a Confucian version of civic philosophy, to overcome that limitation.
