A Study On Cohen’s View Of Socialist Justice

Justice is not only the highest value appeal of human beings,but also an important topic in the study of contemporary political philosophy.Therefore,this paper takes Cohen’s view of social justice as the research object.By analyzing Cohen’s critique of Nozick’s holding of justice and Rolls’ theory of justice,the following conclusions are drawn:socialism is just,capitalism is unjust,and only socialism can achieve true and effective justice.In the argument with Nozick and Rolls,represented by the contemporary liberal view of justice,Cohen defended socialist justice.Cohen believes that Nozick’s thought of justice is centered on the theory of freedom supremacy,so,in Cohen’s view,to thoroughly prove the unjustice of Nozick’s theory,we must aim at Nozick’s theory of freedom supremacy.On Rolls ’theory of justice,Cohen pointed out that Rolls’ assertion that injustice allows a part for the pursuit of greater justice will only lead society into greater injustice.After completing the criticism of western justice theory,Cohen began to improve his own construction of socialist justice.After continuous reflection and research,Cohen finally built his own model of socialist justice.Cohen’s efforts have received great attention,to some extent strengthened people’s confidence in socialism,and eliminated the attraction of contemporary Western views of justice to people.Not only that,he also enriched the Marxist thought of justice and extended the research content of Marxist justice.However,Cohen pursues justice is more radical,in the face of more complex reality,his theory of justice can only be fantasy.His enthusiasm for analytical philosophy also makes him pay too much attention to analytical methods,but also ignore the macro-holistic method of Marxism.Of course,we still need to affirm Cohen’s theoretical contribution,and use dialectical thinking to view Cohen’s thought of justice...
