A Theory of Justice: Revised Edition John Rawls is an English-language printed textbook on political and moral philosophy. This revised edition is intended for professionals seeking deeper insight into principles of justice and social justice.
In this work, Rawls describes the justice that free and rational people would accept in a hypothetical "original position," in which everyone behind a "veil of ignorance" does not know their place in society. This concept forms the core of the theory Rawls developed, in which each person has an inalienable sense of justice that may not be sacrificed to the general good.
This revision includes important adjustments that sharpen the discussion about liberty and primary social goods. Since its appearance in 1971 is A Theory of Justice a classic and is used worldwide in education and debate on political philosophy.
This book fits with fields such as Philosophy, PHILOSOPHY / Political, and POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory.
