A Theory of Justice
By:John Rawls
Published on 2009-07-01 by Harvard University Press
Since it appeared in 1971, John Rawls's |A Theory of Justice| has become a classic. The author has now revised the original edition to clear up a number of difficulties he and others have found in the original book. Rawls aims to express an essential part of the common core of the democratic tradition--justice as fairness--and to provide an alternative to utilitarianism, which had dominated the Anglo-Saxon tradition of political thought since the nineteenth century. Rawls substitutes the ideal of the social contract as a more satisfactory account of the basic rights and liberties of citizens as free and equal persons. |Each person,| writes Rawls, |possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override.| Advancing the ideas of Rousseau, Kant, Emerson, and Lincoln, Rawls's theory is as powerful today as it was when first published.
