Difference principle

Japanese: 格差原理 - かくさげんり(英語表記)difference principle
Difference principle
Also known as the discrimination principle. One of the principles of justice, its purpose is to maximize the benefits of the least advantaged. J. Rawls formulated it in A Theory of Justice (1971) as being on par with the "right to equal liberty" and the "principle of equal opportunity." The order of priority of each principle is equal liberty, the principle of equal opportunity, and the difference principle. With the difference principle, Rawls aims for democratic equality that goes beyond the demands of mere natural liberty and fair equality of opportunity.

差別原理ともいう。正義の原理の一つで,その内容は最も不利な立場におかれた人の利益の最大化である。 J.ロールズが『正義論』 (1971) において,「平等な自由への権利」と「機会均等原理」に並ぶものとして定式化した。各原理の優先順位は平等な自由,機会均等原理,格差原理の順となっている。ロールズは格差原理によって,単なる自然的自由や公正な機会均等の要求をこえた民主主義的平等を志向している。
