Amartya Sen's theory of distributive justice is one of the major extensions of modern distributive justice theory after Rawls.Sen's theory of distributive justice followed another path of the Age of Enlightenment,that is,"comparativeism" that focused on social reality.The focus of attention was on trying to establish a perfect system that was far from reachable to people's real life.This article starts with the establishment and expansion of the themes of ancient distribution justice and modern distribution justice,and selects their representatives: Aristotle and Rawls.By discussing the starting point and the node of distributional justice,the development of distribution justice and the transformation from the ancient to the modern concept are discussed.The thesis of the thesis is defined in the most basic way.The main part of the dissertation discusses the theory of distributive justice in three aspects.First of all,from the theoretical point of view,this paper discusses the perspectives and methods of the distributive justice theory.Different from mainstream distribution justice theory,Sen believes that the traditional deed path has its own natural flaws,and chooses a comparative method that pays attention to reality to study distributional justice.Sen emphasized the power of reason,the choice of thinking position,and the method of social selection theory.After discussing the perspectives and methods of Sen's distributive justice theory,he then draws the essence of Sen's distributive justice.The most important part of this part is that he wrote the information focus of distributive justice theory on the basis of discussing substantive freedom: viability.The feasible ability is the core concept of forest distribution justice,and it is also a major breakthrough.Comparing with other schools,viable capabilities try to return the focus to reality and break through the focus of neglecting the means of realization.Next we will discuss the path to implement the distribution justice.There are two ways to realize the distribution justice of forest: one is democracy based on public reason,and the other is human rights as a free advocate.Sen made progress on the democratic approach.Democracy not only turned to voting and election and became deliberative governance;Sen rethought and defined the concept of human rights in an attempt to get rid of the softness and ambiguity of the concept of human rights and provided a way for human rights.Ideological support.Amartya Sen's theory of distributive justice is undoubtedly an important extension of contemporary distributive justice theory.The selection of his perspective,the breakthrough of information focus,and the choice of path are of great significance to the development of distributive justice theory.
