Regardless occident or orient, the human society has always been pursuing fair, justice and efficiency. Efficiency represents human’s pursuit in material, which belongs to the level of economy, while justice and fair belong to the political level.
Why do human pursue fair and justice? Human’s behaviors are egoistic, which is a fact recognized by both the first principle of Economics and the law of nature. Still, the egoistic individuals would create groups and society, during which the fair and justice were inevitably involved because the two subjects are the foundation of society. In the history of human development, mankind has never stopped pursuing fair and justice though the comprehension of these two concepts varies over time. The ancient Greece advocated the “power is axiom”, and in modern civilization, cooperation and competition have become the mainstream values of behavioral standard. Therefore, the common comprehension of fair and justice have changed.
In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls writes that justice should be given with the equal access to equity, which is considered the most worthy statement about fair and justice. The fair and justice that mankind has always been pursuing are our shared values, which can judge if the social and political system is rational. And by using this standard, we can distinguish autocracy and democracy. Apparently, autocracy doesn’t lead to fair and justice, because the dictators are egoistic. His decisions are always for his interests and against others’ favor, but democracy is constantly adjusting and correcting itself. By mutual surveillance and restricting, democracy can eliminate the public damages brought by egotism and realize fair and justice. Apparently, democracy and autocracy are opposite to each other. Therefore, there is no reason to tie democracy and autocracy and say they are subject to free choice.
Logistically, since the autocracy is anti-democracy, there is no reason to find the excuse for autocracy’s existence from the perspective of democracy. Fair and justice are human’s common value and the bottom line of human’s choice. Our choice can never cross this line. Fair and justice are not only human’s common values, but also the basic principle for human’s survival and the ethical bottom line that we mustn’t cross.
Our world is facing great development, great revolution and great adjustment, and the international situation is experiencing complicated changes. The multipolarity and economic globalization is having in-depth development, and society is becoming more and more informationized. The international community is getting closely interlinked and interdependent. Peace and development are still the main themes of the modern world, and communication and dialogues, mutual trust and cooperation, as well as peace and development are the common wishes of all people. In recent years, Chinese government has raised the concept of “strengthening ecological construction and achieving sustainable development”, which has not only chosen a new pattern of development, but also the implementation of global ecological safety. Ecological civilization is characterized by the interlinking between human and nature, human as well as human and human and society, and harmonious development. The ecological civilization consists of Ideology Civilization, Behavior Civilization and System Civilization. Its purposes are to regulate human’s egotism, and achieve scientific and sustainable development.
