JUSTICE OR MORALITY? A READER ON JOHN RAWLS’S CONCEPTION OF JUSTICE
Keywords:
justice, moral, politicsSynopsis
This volume was conceived as a possible answer to the question: Is justice as fairness a moral or a political ideal? The focus was on clarifying the method of A Theory of Justice and the main Rawlsian concepts (justice as fairness, political justice, justice in international relations, the two principles of justice and overlapping consensus), as well as their major criticisms, formulated by Nozick, Habermas, communitarians and feminists.
The present volume will be of interest for those studying political theory and philosophy, sociology and law.
