Abstract: By means of fixing the original position，the veil of ignorance，and reflective equilibrium，John Rawls thinks reasonable and self-centered citizens can sacrifice their own particularity，probability，and tendency to objectively choose a principle of justice acceptable to all，and that such a principle of justice is free from the special restrictions of types of social system. However，in the theoretical framework of Marxist critique of political economy，justice is forged by the productive relationship of a specific social formation；there is no universally effective conception of justice and a principle of justice adaptable to multiple social development stages is illusive. Marx is against the transcendental conception of justice that is rooted in absolutism. The Analytical Marxism does not break away from this conception and fail to understand that the idea of justice has only the instrumental value to serve a certain historical stage.

Key words: abstract justice, principle of justice, idea of justice, transcendental position, historical materialism
