Circumstances of Justice or Conditions of Justice:Similarity and Difference in Hume's and Rawls's Theory
Hume's and Rawls's theory of"Circumstances of Justice"have inherited relations and similarities in the history of po-litical thought.Rawls's"mutual interest"corresponds to Hume's"confined generosity",and"moderate scarcity"and equality of ca-pacity corresponds to Hume's"limited scarcity"and equality of strength.Meanwhile their theories are quite different."Circumstances of Justice"is Hume's description of a historical possibility of the origin of justice.Rawls's"Circumstances of Justice"is public knowledge known by the parties in the original position,and it is also the necessary condition in the original position as the background condition of the hypothetical contract.Through this theoretical setting,Rawls tries to prove that the parties can reach consensus.
