In contemporary private law theory the relationship between ‘macro’ theories of distributive justice and the ‘micro’ site of interpersonal transactions remains under‐explored. In this paper, I draw on the ‘macro’ theory of justice articulated by John Rawls and offer an account of ‘micro contractual justice’ that helps us understand how the micro domains of contracting introduce particular relational constraints on the infusion of distributive considerations into contract law, resulting in constrained conception of ‘relational Rawlsianism’ operating in contractual domains. My framework provides a bridge between the macro and micro, helping us understand how they are in various senses separate yet interlocking, and also provides a ‘third way’ between all or nothing positions on the place of distributive justice in contract.

行动在哪里：合同法中的宏观和微观正义

在当代私法理论中，分配正义的“宏观”理论与人际交往的“微观”场所之间的关系仍未得到很好的研究。在本文中，我将借鉴约翰·罗尔斯（John Rawls）阐述的“宏观”正义理论，并提供“微观合同正义”的说明，这有助于我们了解合同的微观领域如何在将分配因素注入合同中时引入特定的关系约束法律，导致在合同域中运作的“关系罗尔斯主义”的概念受到限制。我的框架在宏观和微观之间架起了一座桥梁，帮助我们理解它们在各种意义上是如何相互独立而又相互联系的，并且还为分配正义在合同中的所有位置或全无位置之间提供了“第三条道路”。
