The Metaphorical Perspectives on the View of Justice:From Rawls and Proudhon to Marx
The presupposition of contemporary political philosophy is that the word"justice"features conceptual clarity and lucidity.However,this is still claimed in the sense of word,diction or discourse.When John Bordley Rawls(罗尔斯)discussed the concept of justice and constructed the principle of social justice,he took the ideal or the logic derived from the reasonable aspect as a task.Such a metaphor has determined the negative motion of the concept.And it is also clearly shown in Pierre Joseph Proudhon's definition of justice.Examining justice from the perspective of historical materialism,the metaphorical thinking serves as the guiding thinking for the humankind to grasp the concept of justice,which regards capitalist society as a modern myth of Themis(正义女神),the blindfolded goddess of justice.On the one hand,justice serves as the reflection,projection,presence and directional image of the commodity-based capitalist system of values.On the other hand,it serves as the shadow of empty ideology,misleading illusion,imitation,and arabesques which forge logic as the base fabric of legitimacy.According to the metaphor of"Foundation and Superstructure",the concept of justice precisely points to the metaphor or moves from the metaphor to the conceptual field.Obviously,a greater performance need to be made effective for the appearance of a new form of justice.
