公平是人类几千年来所向往的一种美好的社会状态。对公平的理解存在较大争议。有人从经济意义出发,将公平理解为收入分配的平等。有人从公平的类型中去解释公平,认为在不同的领域有不同的含义。还有人认为公平是社会成员之间关系的性质表达。对于公平的理解,可谓是仁者见仁,智者见智。从本质上说,公平是一个伦理学的概念,它是对社会成员之间各种权利及利益分配是否合理、是否符合人的平等权利的一种评价。 Fairness is a beautiful state of society that mankind aspires for thousands of years. There is much controversy about fairness. Some people start from the economic point of view, will be fair to understand the equality of income distribution. Some people explain the fairness from the fair type, think there are different meanings in different fields. Still others consider fairness a natural expression of the relationship among members of society. For a fair understanding, it can be said benevolence see the benevolent, the wise see the wisdom. In essence, fairness is an ethical concept. It is an evaluation of whether the rights and interests among social members are rationally allocated and whether they are in conformity with the equal rights of people.
