Summarize John Rawls views about justice.

Answer»

The famous book of john Rawls is ‘The Theory of justice”. In this book, he has analysed social justice in modem context. He has objected to the justice-related traditional thoughts. 

Rawls’s justice related thoughts are based on two concepts :

1. Every person has equal right to get equal fundamental freedom, which all should get equally.

 2. Social and economic disparities should be arranged in such a way that:

  • The most backward persons should get maximum benefit, and 
  •  Every individual, in the situation of equality of proper opportunity, should have assignment and repute.

Rawls has endeavoured to present the principle of justice on priority basis and therefore he says that there should be restriction on freedom for the protection of freedom. Rawls regards such a principle as the best for the society, whereas the people themselves accept the veil of ignorance. In this situation, every person is basically overwhelmed with moral powers and he becomes a moral person.
