| Summary: | Part I. Social justice -- The question of justice -- Why utilitarianism is not the best option -- Part II. Pluralism, public reason, and political stability -- The departure from classical liberalism -- Justice as fairness : a re-interpretation -- Why public reason is not the "public use of reason" -- Rawls's idea of a well-ordered society -- Part III. Rawls's global justice and the non-Western world -- Human rights in The law of peoples -- Liberal individualism and the concept of the person in African philosophy : implications for Rawls's basic human rights. "This book explores the three foundational topics in Rawls's theories of justice (social justice, multiculturalism, and global justice) while deconstructing ideas of democratic citizenship, public reason, and liberal individualism latent in his treatment of these subjects in order to uncover their cultural and historical underpinnings." |
