[Rawls] has elucidated a conception of justice which goes beyond anything to be found in Kant or Rousseau. It is a convincing refutation, if one is needed, of any lingering suspicions that the tradition of English-speaking political philosophy might be dead. Indeed, his book might plausibly be claimed to be the most notable contribution to that tradition to have been published since Sidgwick and Mill., Rawls 's Theory of Justice is widely and justly regarded as this century's most important work of political philosophy. Originally published in 1971, it quickly became the subject of extensive commentary and criticism, which led Rawls to revise some of the arguments he had originally put forward in this work...This edition will certainly become the definitive one; all scholars will use it, and it will be an essential text for any academic library. It contains a new preface that helpfully outlines the major revisions, and a 'conversion table' that correlates the pagination of this edition with the original, which will be useful to students and scholars working with this edition and the extensive secondary literature on Rawls's work. Highly recommended., In his magisterial new work... John Rawls draws on the most subtle techniques of contemporary analytic philosophy to provide the social contract tradition with what is, from a philosophical point of view at least, the most formidable defense it has yet received...[and] makes available the powerful intellectual resources and the comprehensive approach that have so far eluded antiutilitarians. He also makes clear how wrong it was to claim, as so many were claiming only a few years back, that systematic moral and political philosophy are dead...Whatever else may be true it is surely true that we must develop a sterner and more fastidious sense of justice. In making his peerless contribution to political theory, John Rawls has made a unique contribution to this urgent task. No higher achievement is open to a scholar., With the simple carpentry of its arguments, its egalitarian leanings, and its preoccupation with fairness, Rawls's classic 1971 work, A Theory of Justice , is as American a book as, say, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ., [ Rawls ] has elucidated a conception of justice which goes beyond anything to be found in Kant or Rousseau.

And it is a pleasure to recommend...an indigenous American philosophical masterpiece of the first order...I mean...to press my recommendation of [this book] to non-philosophers, especially those holding positions of responsibility in law and government. For the topic with which it deals is central to this country's purposes, and the misunderstanding of that topic is central to its difficulties...And the central idea is simple, elegant, plausible, and easily applied by anybody at any time as a measure of the justice of his own actions.

  • No Easy Walk to Justice

    Recently-published books on social justice, equality, and wokeness often refer to John Rawls' foundational work from 1971, A Theory of Justice. It begins with a lot of theory, but he defines his terms clearly and provides indicators in the text to keep the reader alert. Rawls argues for "justice as fairness" especially against the doctrine of utilitarianism. Finding justice requires balancing the tension between everyone's rights and improving life for some at the expense of others. Eventually Rawls gets to specific situations, which clarify his methodology and argument. It's a deep dive, but very helpful as a standard by which to judge the current chaos that swirls around "justice." This book was published over fifty years ago, yet it where the "experts" go to test their thinking and ...
