Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on John Rawls' influential work in moral and political philosophy, the essay explores his concept of justice as fairness, rooted in the idea of an original position and a veil of ignorance. Rawls posits that individuals would select principles benefiting all, avoiding advantages for specific groups. The essay outlines these principles and evaluates Rawls' justification for their selection, ultimately arguing that while justice as fairness is a compelling theory, its practical implementation poses significant challenges.
