Value Analysis of the Conception of Justice

In recent years,social justice has become both a focus of attention by people from all social classes,and a heated topic for discussion among theorists.This paper holds that justice is not a descriptive concept,but rather a concept of value and norm.In this sense,understadning of this concept can only be obtained through philosophic analysis of values.Justice is a primary value of an institution.As a meta-norm and a principle of value adjustment,justice functions as a means of tentative solution to the contradiction of freedom and equality,and integrates freedom and equality.As a criterion for fairness,it is expressed by a scale,with satisfactory being the upper limit and acceptable the bottom line.The concept of justice also implies dichotomies of the form and the essence,the ideal and the reality,the historical dimension and the practical dimension and so on.
