“自然资质的分布无所谓正义不正义,人降生于社会的某一特殊地位也说不上不正义。这些只是自然的事实。正义或不正义是制度处理这些事实的方式。 “
“The natural distribution is neither just nor unjust; nor is it unjust that persons are born into society at some particular position. These are simply natural facts. What is just and unjust is the way that institutions deal with these facts.”
—— 罗尔斯《正义论》(Rawls, a Theory of Justice)
