Consumption is the behavior and process that the people use goods or the personal service to satisfy their production and life in a certain society relation. As one of people's existence manners, consumption is a try for people to deal with the relations between people and nature, society and themselves. It's also a means for people to realize self-value and meaning of being. Justice is the highest ideal that the people pursue their essence, the standard and right justice of the human being's world,relation and behavior,and the value truth that the man develop and consummate. Its essence considers people's value, dignity and development as their foundation. Born from rightful attention to consuming, consumption justice is perfection of and guide to consumption behavior after reflection and rating of it. The realization of consumption justice is to reach harmony between people and nature, economical society and themselves by moderate, harmonious, rightful, enduring consumption from the starting point and destination of the development of human, social society and ecology. The paper can be divided into four chapters.Chapter one: the history inspect of consumption justice idea. The collation of the thoughts of consumption justice is the thinking resource and theory foundation of the construction of modern consumption justice theory. The thoughts of consumption justice of China experienced a process from thrifty, of rank and constrained to extravagant, equal and open. The thought of rightful ecology consumption of Marxism founders who constructed their thoughts of consumption justice during the process of criticizing labor alienation and commodity worship, with full-scale human development as its starting point and final destination is still wisdom until now. The communist central government with Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao at his core brings up a series of consumption justice views with Chinese character through their heritance and development of Marxism consumption justice views and combination with Chinese construction practice.Chapter two: the connotation and legality demonstration of consumption justice. Making clear consumption justice connotation is the base of consumption justice theory, demonstrating the legality of consumption justice is the legitimate brace of consumption justice theory. From meta-physical angle, consumption justice which pays close attention to developing economy and human themselves but not at the cost of self alienation is the reasonable merit evaluation to relation between social society development and human existence way. It's humanitarian, equal and harmonious merit ideal reflecting in consuming system and activities. Seen from physical angle, consumption justice is a research of rightfulness, rationality and norm. It pays attention to how to combine factual and value appraisal, economical and social benefit in order to realize the interaction between justice ideal and it. These two aspects of consumption justice are closely related and can't be divided. People's sense property, existing character of free activity and transcendence of people offer humanitarian foundation for consumption justice theory while necessity of human existence in social relation and social character of consuming offer foundation of existence theory for it. The alienation of people with themselves, the indifference of people with society and other people's relation and deterioration of the relation between man and nature are all calling the appearance of consumption justice theory.Chapter three: the principle and contemporary value of consumption justice. Establishing consumption justice is the important link of constructing consumption justice theory. Consumption justice ideal is the fundamental principle and standard for consuming subject in consuming activities while dealing with various relations. Man oriented consumption ideal, with people's value, dignity, freedom and development as the ultimate purpose and starting point of consumption activities, should not only satisfy people's basic living need but also satisfy people's need for development. The justice concept is when individual performs his own free right of consumption, he should not affect the rights and profits of others and the whole society; meanwhile, the realization of the consumption rights of others and society should also create conditions for the realization of individual consumption right. This concept includes the justice concept of human and nature, the inner-generation justice concept and inter-generation justice concept. The essence of the ideal of harmony is to inflect people's consumption activities entirely and at last realize harmony between consumption and self development, natural environment, other people and society. Moderate consumption ideal contends restraint. It includes quality and quantity. The ongoing consumption ideal is the unity of endurance and development, whose core is to realize the ongoing existence of nature and development of society during consuming process. The core of development is to realize social economy's ongoing development. The ongoing development ideal lays different emphasis on developing and developed countries.Chapter four: the principle practice of consumption justice. The life of consumption justice theory exists in practice of consumption justice. The subjects of consumption justice contain individual, enterprise and government. The practice of individual consumption justice is the foundation and fundamental power of realizing consumption justice. So individuals must be responsible consumers by establishing right consumption views, breaking away from the misunderstanding of consuming is happiness, choosing consumption way of self reliance and improving right safeguard and self protection. Enterprises are main providers of consuming material. But at the same time, the consumption during producing is also a main cause of present ecology crisis. So enterprises should explore nature reasonably and protect ecological environment while fundamentally aiming at satisfying people's existence and development and realizing people's full-scale free development. The government is a special and important consuming subject, which is the example of consuming behavior. It not only is the institutor of consuming system and policy but also the leader of the consumption in the whole society. Problems with governors not only corrupt social atmosphere, but also make government itself face crisis of legitimacy. So government should control its consuming behavior from two aspects of governor and practice subject.Through harmonious consumption, rightful consumption, moderate consumption and enduring consumption, the practice of consumption justice will realize people's value, dignity and development , bring about the harmony of human themselves, the harmony between humans, the harmony between human and nature, the harmony of human and society, and construct the"harmonious human".
