从前有三个孩子:安妮、鲍勃与卡拉,为一支笛子而争来抢去。安妮说,她应该得到笛子,因为三个人中只有她会吹奏;鲍勃却认为,自己是三人中最贫穷者,没有玩具,故应得到笛子;卡拉争辩道,自己辛苦制作笛子,理应取得所有权。问题在于,将笛子分配给谁符合正义?这并非一个能够简单回答的问题。古往今来,在正义问题上苦苦探寻的思想家们给出了不同答案。 Once upon a time there were three children: Annie, Bob and Kara, fighting for a flute. Annie said she deserved flute because she was the only one of the three to play; Bob thought he was the poorest of the three and had no flute, so she deserved flute; Carla argues that she made a flute and deserved it ownership. The question is, who allocates the flute to justice? This is not a question that can be simply answered. Throughout the ages, thinkers who are struggling to explore issues of justice have given different answers.
