The present age liberalism displays school appearing numerously. But there are many criticisms inside and external, among them relation of right and equal is an important subject. The concept to equality, according with the present age liberalism can only be concept of equality of rights, but not equality of welfare and equality of result. Be to refer to an individual own the right being treated equally as one people with equal right, it is also equal between rights be equal in principle , different life-style. The equality of result is really not that with equal right directness demand, because of right value that the final outcome relates to self. But the right value and individual ability in relation to, equal time demanded by the right equality. The go after to result state is one kind of the utilitarianism think about essentially. But, the reason why the equality to resource and benefit is called tradition liberalism attention a problem. Because the tradition liberalism will occupy the possessing individualism is as self philosophy basis. The exclusiveness occupying the person and gift that the possessing individualism looks upon individual right as to self is occupied, holding relating that to further to private property and specially appointed resource is holy and inviolable. We can realize the harmony between right and equality --one kind of the right equality-- so if we are changed into the possessing individualism for the cooperating individualism. The cooperating individualism looks upon gift, resource and benefit as being the result cooperation, look upon equality as the construction being one kind of relation between person and person. Set off from the cooperating individualism, the assignment problem that we think deeply again about benefit, resource and chance are only capable to do having diversity. Member who is the system of cooperation, every individual should be respected equally all on position, and gains what be come from cooperation. That the chance is opening. Differences are equal between life-styles. The individual has the right choosing life-style. It is illegal to any specially appointed life-style monopoly. Only complying with equal right position, distributive justice can get the reasonable and legitimate reason. It goes to realize oneself with equal right when in distributive justice. The equality of rights is able to be that equality--identical case is identical treated, diversity treats different case--providing reasonable and legitimate explanation. Right has demanded to deal with different people in different ways to distributive objects. Be one kind of system construction principle, equal right must ensure from system. The system construction is common view and the running-in result. Right in principle from system became concrete right. But right one kind of background right demanded by life-style and personal expectation, is not institution right. At present problem is not right in fact in conflict, be insufficient institution leading to un-justice of resource and benefit. Concrete right conflict is inevitable, we can't have fixed pattern. In other words, fixed system exactly is to produce right conflict. That the liberalism system constructs institute base common view is not for one time merely but being that one process, solving conflicting is to build nimble conflict solve mechanism above life-style. At the same time form principle of right equality, restriction on right is also necessary. Background right must get common theory accepting and accepts. Also, restriction on right is only restricting to the right realization but is not self restricting to right.
