Beyond these questions, a theory of justice can draw substantially on the insights and analytical results emerging from social choice theory (as I discussed in my 2009 book The Idea of Justice). Furthermore, the understanding generated by social choice theorists’ study of group decisions has helped some research that is not directly a part of social choice theory – for example, on the forms and consequences of gender inequality, or on the causation and prevention of famines.
除了这些问题，关于正义的理论可以深刻影响来自社会选择理论的洞见和分析结果（我在2009年的著作《正义观念》（The Idea of Justice）中讨论了这一点）。此外，来自社会选择理论家对群体决策的研究的理解帮助了一些并非直接属于社会选择理论的研究——比如对性别不平等的后果的形式的研究、对饥荒的成因和预防的研究等。
