| Research Abstract |
On the contrary to traditional social theories, where "equality" or "justice" has beenupheld as the major normative principle in society, this study explored the theoretical possibility to locate "fairness" as the principal normative principle in social theory. The equi-depenndence principle is one of the constituents of fairness and this principle is shown to be able to explain various payoff outcomes from experimental game researches. Besides, this study developed a theoretical attempt, in the fields such as theoretical sociology, social strata, social security system, and economic policy, to reconstruct theories incorporating the idea of fairness as a normative standard in evaluating or planning institutions and policies.
