Enlightenment thinkers thought of social justice, ideology utopian socialists thought of social justice, Hegel, Feuerbach’s idea of social justice are the sources of Marx’s theory of social justice ideas. Marx’s idea of social justice goes from the infancy, gradually forming to maturing process. The infancy is from Ph D thesis writing to “Rheinische Zeitung”period. The Gradually forming stage is from the “Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right” to “The German Ideology”. The Mature stage is from “The Poverty of Philosophy” to “Critique of the Gotha Program”.The second chapter analyzes the theoretical basis of Marxist ideas of social justice. Marx’s historical materialism is the methodological basis of the analysis of social justice issues. Scientific dimension of historical materialism, moral stance and subjective dimension and object dimension are the theoretical basis. Marx’s view of history is not a value-neutral or not involved in ethics. Scientific materialism has a distinctive dimension. Meanwhile, scientific materialism is about people, containing a moral stance. Materialism is the subjective dimension and the objective dimension of unity. When recognizing the objective laws, we can not ignore the role of human subjective initiative. Subjective dimension of historical materialism is designed to address provide subjective criteria of solving the social injustice problems. Objective dimension of historical materialism seeks to study social justice in practice to examine.The third chapter explains the basic content of Marx’s ideas of social justice.

It is also the regulator between equality and freedom.The fourth chapter focuses on social justice conditions. Social justice is not abstract, and it is not out of the concept of physical reality environment. Marx looked at the conditions to achieve social justice in a broad perspective of historical materialism. The proletariat is the main force to achieve social justice. Only eliminating classes and class antagonisms, we will likely achieve true justice state. Dictatorship of the proletariat is a necessary step in the elimination of classes. Highly developed productive forces provide the material basis of social justice. When productive forces have not yet developed adequate, social injustice is widespread. Only in communist society, social justice will be unified in form and content. The real Community overcomes the limitations of the unreal Community. There, freedom and equality of people are no longer exclusive.The fifth chapter is mainly to solve the value of Marx’s ideology of social justice in contemporary China. Studying of contemporary China’s social justice issues can not be separated from the context of socialism with Chinese characteristics. So, what kind of inherent relationship exists between social justice and socialism with Chinese characteristics associated with it? From Marx’s view of social justice issues stand, viewpoint and method of view, what problems about social injustice we focus on solving in contemporary China? In this chapter, first expound the relationship between socialism with Chinese characteristics and social justice. Justice is an inherent requirement of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Practice socialism with Chinese characteristics is bound to reflect the essence of justice. Then, explain social justice issues in the socialist market economy.

Changes in social structure and social justice are intrinsically linked. How the social structure is directly related to the degree of realization of social justice. Studying and researching the process of changes in the structure since the founding of New China and the main features of structure in the current is very necessary. Only optimizing the social structure and exploring a variety of possible paths, we will promote the realization of social justice. Finally, explain the key role in building elaborate system of social justice for the realization of social justice. System helps adjust the relationship of interests among people. And it regulates people’s behavior constraints. Justice is the value appeal for system. Constructing justice system is a system of systems engineering, and it requires us to start from a number of areas of economic, political, cultural, social, ecological, etc.
