ABSTRACT
-
In the work of John Rawls, race and religion are distinct categories that pertain to different normative universes. To be sure, they share a crucial feature: they are both morally arbitrary when it comes to the treatment of persons as free and equal. As Rawls says, ‘we are confident that religious intolerance and racial discrimination are unjust’. Yet while neither racial nor religious difference should affect the equal distribution of rights and opportunities, they otherwise raise distinct moral stakes within liberal theories of justice.
-
In this paper, I first provide an analysis of Rawls’s bifurcated treatment of religion and race; and I explore what this Rawlsian bifurcation obscures or obfuscates. I then show that Rawls’s non-ideal theory about religion reveals more about his theory of race than critics have hitherto perceived. Finally, I explore ways in which Rawlsian-inspired analysis can come to grips with the deep interconnection of race and religion in social life.

摘要
在罗尔斯的著作中，种族和宗教是截然有别的两个范畴，分属不同的规范经验体系。但可以肯定的是，二者共享下述关键特征：就我们将人视为自由且平等的来对待而言，种族和宗教在道德上都是任意的。如罗尔斯所言：“我们深信宗教偏狭与种族歧视都是非正义的”。然而，种族和宗教的差异也不应该影响平等分配权利与机会，否则它们会在自由主义的正义理论中引发了不同的道德风险。本讲首先分析罗尔斯对宗教和种族的分叉处理，并探讨这种分叉处理方式掩盖或混淆了什么；而后，本讲将表明，罗尔斯非理想的宗教理论所揭示的关于种族理论的内容比批评者迄今为止所认为的更多；最后，本讲将探讨罗尔斯所启发的分析能够以何种方式，来应对社会生活中种族与宗教的深层互连。
