Marx's Distributive Justice Thought and Its Contemporary Enlightenment
Marx's thought on distributive justice encompasses not only a robust critique of the existing socio-economic order but also a keen focus on the well-being of individuals.From a scientific perspective of historical materialism,Marx identified the inherent injustice of the distributive justice theory based on the"labor determinative powers" in capitalist society of his time.Marx's thought on distributive justice is founded upon two principles:historical principle and human development principle.Based on the former,Marx scientifically analyzed and criticized various theories of distributive justice in human history,and correctly pointed out the historical characteristics of distributive justice.Based on the latter,he identified clearly that the ultimate standard of the "justice"in the distributive justice theory is human development. Marx's thought on distributive justice holds significant theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the social construction of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
