    Extractions: By Michael P. Zuckert Posted November 26, 2002 This article appeared in the Fall 2002 issue of the Claremont Review of Books Click here to send a comment. John rawls is almost certainly the best-known American practitioner of the ancient discipline of political philosophy — although just the other day I did meet someone in a university who had never heard of him. Most of us who do know of him do not particularly associate him with the history of philosophy. He plies his trade more in the mode of contemporary Anglo-American analytic philosophy, which tends to draw a rather sharp distinction between "doing philosophy" and studying the history of philosophy. One of these analytic gentlemen, for example, said recently to a distinguished acquaintance of mine who has spent many years studying Kant and German idealism, that he always wondered "what it was like to be a scholar," with the understanding, of course, that "mere" was implicitly modifying "scholar" in that query. In his own most famous works, A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism , Rawls never says anything quite so patronizing, and indeed he mentions figures from the history of philosophy from time to time. Nonetheless, from these mentions and the general style of his thinking one would not conclude that he takes the history of philosophy particularly seriously. Indeed, from some of the comments he makes about thinkers like Aristotle or Nietzsche in A Theory of Justice one might be led to wonder whether he had ever read these authors.

    Extractions: John Rawls was a political philosopher who had a theory of economic justice. Basically, under his view, justice is what everybody would agree to if they didn't know what social status they would have. I have no idea how effective this is in the real world, but it adds a new dimension to a game of Monopoly. Before you start the game you will roll the dice: If you roll a 6 you are "rich", if you roll a 1 you are "poor", and if you roll anything else, you are "middle class". The "rich" players will start the game with a very high sum of money, the "poor" players will start the game with barely any money, and the "middle class" get the normal starting amount for Monopoly money. Also, at each trip past GO, the rich person receives the most, and the poor person receives the least. But before anybody knows whether they are rich or poor, they have to decide whether there is going to be any equalization of wealth. Will the rich people have to give the poor people some of their money? Or will every body pay taxes, and then receive money back based on their income? Since all these decisions are made before anyone knows how rich they will be, they will be the most fair. At least, that's what John Rawls thought.

    Extractions: John Rawls, who died last November at the age of 81, has been described as the most significant moral philosopher of our age. I will not dispute that assessment. He was certainly the most significant contemporary philosopher in my life, but that is understandable since the title of my doctoral dissertation was “Rawls and the Duty to Posterity.” In the Preface to his masterpiece, A Theory of Justice (Harvard, 1971) Rawls wrote, with characteristic modesty, “I must disclaim any originality for the views I put forward. The leading ideas are classical and well known.” Few philosophers familiar with his work will agree that it is unoriginal. True, while he developed his ideas in the tradition of the “well known” contract theory, he did so with extraordinary brilliance, drawing, as none had done before, from such diverse fields as economics, decision theory, linguistics, and cognitive psychology. It is a work, not oriented to the “classical” past, but to present-day scholarship and to contemporary political issues. When he submitted his manuscript for publication, Rawls could not have imagined the impact that it would have, not only in moral and political philosophy, but in numerous other disciplines. When I last checked, some fifteen years ago, this book had generated over five hundred refereed scholarly publications. A Google search, just completed, yielded 37,500 entries for "John Rawls." In a seminar I once attended, Rawls’s friend and former student, Thomas Nagel, referred to this activity as “the Rawls industry.”

    Extractions: This paper aims at illustrating through a close reading of the works of John Rawls the anti-foundationalist cosmopolitan deliberative democratic approach to liberalism that I have sketched in the IIIS Discussion Paper N.47. I shall argue that despite what some of his critics believe Rawls' liberal theory of justice 1) is not concerned with foundational preoccupations (e.g. Michael Sandel); 2) does not ignore concrete processes of collective deliberation over matters of public interests (e.g. Amy Guttman, Dennis Thomson, Brian Barry); 3) nor does it endorse rigid limits to the scope of democratic deliberation (e.g. Jeremy Waldron, John Gray, Richard Bellamy ). Yet I shall claim, following Andrew Kuper, that 4) there is a real risk of infringing individuals' primary moral significance in trying to stretch too much the limits of liberal toleration in order to accommodate political liberalism with multiculturalism in the international sphere.

His system was developed from two basic principles: Each person has a right to the most extensive basic liberty compatible with like liberty for others, and inequalities in the distribution of wealth and power are just only when they can be reasonably expected to work to the advantage of those who are worst off. For Rawls, justice does not require equality in social position, but it does require that people share one another's fate.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A3136042
    
    Extractions: Political philosophers attempt to address some fundamental questions about the way in which complex societies ought to organise themselves. How can the political state be justified and on what is it based? What rights and responsibilities does the individual have towards the state, and it towards the individual? What are the limits of state power? Can any form of state be justified at all? If so, what kind of state ought there to be? There have been many attempts to answer these questions, and one of the most interesting was that made by John Rawls (1921 - 2002). Rawls is widely recognised in the academic community as the most important political philosopher of the 20th Century and is credited with reviving serious academic interest in political philosophy. It is rare to find any subsequent work of political philosophy that does not discuss Rawls in some way. Rawls's most famous work is A Theory of Justice , which was first published in 1971 A Theory of Justice , along with Rawls's subsequent articles and later works (

    http://geoff82.wordpress.com/2007/03/26/the-evan-sayet-speech-john-rawls-and-geo
    
    Extractions: Because pedantry is not dead Ace put up the fundamental tenet of modern liberalism is to avoid critical judgment of everything and everybody except those who make critical judgments. More than avoidance, this philosophy actually deems it evil and/or ignorant to make critical judgments. The criminal is not bad, he is simply disadvantaged or misunderstood. The terrorist is not bad, he is simply doing what he thinks is right. Example #1: Commies vs. Saintly Capitalists . Thus, it is immoral to judge the relative merits of religions, cultures, and political/economic/social systems, unless those systems themselves judge behaviors. Capitalism, for example, rewards certain behaviors and punishes others - therefore it is bad. Communism and socialism, on the other hand, are non-judgmental economic systems, treating everybody alike. They are obviously good. Example #2: Men and Women The Rawlsian Utopia . John Rawls, a philosophy professor at Harvard who passed away several years ago, once proposed a system that is very similar to that described above. In his vision, the most just society could be created by having a committee decide how the society would work. The key was that the committee members would not know where they would fit in that society This is not an obscure theory - this goal of having a perfectly just society via a balancing of outcomes serves as the basis for modern liberalism, and John Rawls work is primary source material for the formal philosophical foundation for liberalism.

76. An Examination John Rawls's Critique Of Utilitarianism
    An Examination john rawls s Critique of Utilitarianism.  
    http://ambient.2y.net/jon/philo/rawls_utilitarianism_critique_1.html
    
    Extractions: An Examination John Rawls's Critique of Utilitarianism Jon Williams February 13 2001 Utilitarianism does not take into account how benefits and burdens are distributed in a society. Rawls writes that it is rational for a moral theory that describes an entire society to seek to maximize some measurable quantity, whether it be happiness, satisfaction, or some other calculable value. Because Utilitarianism seeks to maximize the sum of utility over an entire society, it commits itself to prefer whichever distribution achieves maximum utility. Of course, it is possible that the distribution that maximizes utility in a given society may do so by distributing benefits and burdens in a way that seems to violate common notions of justice. For example, it may be the case that utility is maximal in a society which practices slavery. Utilitarianism would nonetheless deem that arrangement better than any other because it maximizes the good: namely, utility. Rawls concludes that any theory that accepts an unjust distribution of benefits and burdens must be flawed. Specifically, Rawls writes that a society cannot view itself as some kind of super-person, able to shift benefits and burdens as it wishes in order to reach some greater good. While individual persons can choose to distribute their personal benefits and burdens at will, this principle does not transfer to the collection of persons we call a society. Restated, Rawls holds that the principle of utility may be rational when applied to a single person, but it cannot logically be extended to treat an entire society as a larger version of a single person.

    Extractions: [Logo illustrations by Shag Main An announcement on the Harvard philosophy department page notes that philosopher John Rawls died Sunday. Perhaps this is unusual for someone with my political position, but I was very much influenced by Rawls perhaps almost as much as by his antithesis, Robert Nozick, who we lost a little less than a year ago. Rawls's Theory of Justice sparked one renaissance in political philosophy, and his Political Liberalism launched what I see as a healthy, "postmetaphysical" conversation in the same field. In other words, he wrote two major books, and each one revolutionized his discipline. This is a tremendous loss that should be mourned by people of all perspectives. Update: The obituaries are appearing, and the best so far is, unsurprisingly, in the Harvard Crimson Jacob Levy has an excellent reflection on Rawls.

78. John Rawls' Theory Of Blind "Justice"
    What makes rawls’ idea of justice so important is that he systematically expresses a vision that had already underpinned a great deal of social policy,  
    http://rebirthofreason.com/Articles/Younkins/John_Rawls_Theory_of_Blind_Justice.
    
    Extractions: Rawls thus argues that the principles that should govern the basic structure of a just or well-ordered society are principles that would be selected by rational individuals in specially constructed, imaginary circumstances called the original position. For Rawls, a society is well ordered when (1) its members know and agree to the same principles of social justice and (2) the basic institutions of society generally satisfy and are widely known to satisfy these principles. Rawls argues that if we are to justify the use of the coercive power of the state over individuals, it ought to be in terms of reasons that all can accept or should accept. According to Rawls’ difference principle, an inequality can be advantageous to the person who gets the smaller share because inequalities can constitute incentives which increase the size of the pie to be shared, so that the smaller piece may be larger in absolute terms than an equal share of the smaller pie that would have existed in the absence of such incentives. The difference principle collapses to strict equality under conditions where differences in income and other rewards have no effect on the incentives of individuals. However, in the real world currently and in the foreseeable future, greater rewards bring forth greater productive effort, thus increasing the total wealth of the economy and, under the difference principle, the wealth of the least advantaged.
