Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Medienethik, Note: 2,3, Mediadesign Hochschule für Design und Informatik GmbH München, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dem 1979 veröffentlichten Buch „A Theory of Justice“ beabsichtigte der US-amerikanische Philosoph John Rawls, eine Moralphilosophie zu erarbeiten, die ein Gegenmodell zum Utilitarismus erläutert, welcher bis dato vorwiegend als theoretische Grundlage der neueren Moralphilosophie galt. Sein Buch, welches als eines der einflussreichsten Werke der politischen Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts. gilt, ist der Versuch, Kriterien anzugeben, nach denen sich beurteilen lässt, ob eine Gesellschaft in gerechter Weise eingerichtet ist oder nicht. Die Grundlage hierfür sind Gerechtigkeitsgrundsätze, die angeben, welche Rechte jedem Individuum in der Gesellschaft zustehen und wie soziale und wirtschaftliche Güter in einer Gesellschaft auf die in ihr lebenden Menschen zu verteilen sind. Und genau diese Verteilungen sollen auf gerechte Weise erfolgen.
Download or read book A Theory of Justice written by John Rawls and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Reclaiming the History of Ethics written by Andrews Reath and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-05-13 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume offer an approach to the history of moral and political philosophy that takes its inspiration from John Rawls. The distinctive feature of this approach is to address substantive normative questions in moral and political philosophy through an analysis of the texts and theories of major figures in the history of the subject: Aristotle, Hobbes, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, and Marx. By reconstructing the core of these theories in a way that is informed by contemporary theoretical concerns, the contributors show how the history of the subject is a resource for understanding present and perennial problems in moral and political philosophy.
Download or read book Collected Papers written by John Rawls and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2001-03-02 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Rawls’s work on justice has drawn more commentary and aroused wider attention than any other work in moral or political philosophy in the twentieth century. Rawls is the author of two major treatises, A Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism (1993); it is said that A Theory of Justice revived political philosophy in the English-speaking world. But before and after writing his great treatises Rawls produced a steady stream of essays. Some of these essays articulate views of justice and liberalism distinct from those found in the two books. They are important in and of themselves because of the deep issues about the nature of justice, moral reasoning, and liberalism they raise as well as for the light they shed on the evolution of Rawls’s views. Some of the articles tackle issues not addressed in either book. They help identify some of the paths open to liberal theorists of justice and some of the knotty problems which liberal theorists must seek to resolve. A complete collection of John Rawls’s essays is long overdue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, grade: 2,7, National University of Ireland, Galway, language: English, abstract: The Theory of Justice is one of the most important works concerning moral and political philosophy of the 20th century. In his work, John Rawls presents a widely persuasive Theory of Justice and elaborates his idea of ‘justice as fairness’. Outgoing from the original position, thus defining a veil of ignorance, Rawls assumes that people would choose fundamental principles which are only for the benefit of everyone and offer no advantages for any special social groups. Rawls expects people in the original position to choose two specific principles of justice on which to found their political association. In this essay I will present these principles and Rawls’ justification for their choice. Furthermore, I will assess his success and will argue for ‘justice as fairness’ being one of the fairest theories on the one hand, but unfortunately on the other hand likewise hard to realize.

Book excerpt: "This collection of original essays explores major areas of debate inspired by the political philosophy of John Rawls. The volume is divided into ten parts, exploring ten distinct questions: Can Rawls's conception of public reason offer determinate answers to major questions of justice? Is ideal theory useful or relevant to resolving issues of justice in the nonideal world? Are libertarians correct to criticize Rawls's work for failing to prioritize economic liberty? Should the problems of distributive justice be understood in terms of luck egalitarian or relational egalitarian assumptions? When institutions aim at equality, what is it that they should seek to equalize-primary goods, capabilities, or welfare? Does Rawls's theory of justice have the resources to address justice for people who are significantly dependent on others and their caregivers? Is Rawls's theory adequate for addressing gender injustice? Can or should Rawls's theory include justice for nonhuman animals? Should the principles of economic justice that hold at the global level be similar to the egalitarian principles of justice that hold at the domestic level? Is Rawls's theory of global justice too tolerant of nonliberal societies? For each question, there is an introductory essay, providing an overview of the relevant arguments from Rawls's work and the historical contours of the debate that ensued. Each introductory essay is followed by two essays written by scholars who take opposing positions, moving the discussion forward in a fruitful way"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However, unlike conventional legal theory, this volume seeks to provide an answer in terms of a general social theory: a methodology that answers this question in a manner applicable not only to law, but also to all the other complex and highly differentiated systems within modern society, such as politics, the economy, religion, the media, and education. This truly sociological approach offers profound insights into the relationships between law and all of these other social systems.
