Book Description
In this superb introduction, Samuel Freeman introduces and assesses the main topics of Rawls' philosophy. Starting with a brief biography and charting the influences on Rawls' early thinking, he goes on to discuss the heart of Rawls's philosophy: his principles of justice and their practical application to society.
Subsequent chapters discuss Rawls's theories of liberty, political and economic justice, democratic institutions, goodness as rationality, moral psychology, political liberalism, and international justice and a concluding chapter considers Rawls' legacy.
Clearly setting out the ideas in Rawls' masterwork, A Theory of Justice, Samuel Freeman also considers Rawls' other key works, including Political Liberalism and The Law of Peoples. An invaluable introduction to this deeply influential philosopher, Rawls is essential reading for anyone coming to his work for the first time.
Review
"...an important and hugely impressive book. It is straightforward and authoritative, laying out and exploring criticisms in sufficient detail to make clear the underlying philosophical issues." -- Jonathan Wolff, The Times Literary Supplement
"A monumental study of a monumental theorist. This invaluable resource engages with Rawlss work at every level: its an exposition, its a critique, and most important it projects an understanding of Rawlss work into the future of political philosophy. On every page, Professor Freemans attention to detail is suffused by his awareness of the overall structure of the theory and the philosophical significance of Rawlss grand strategy." -- Jeremy Waldron, New York University School of Law, USA
"Sympathetic, comprehensive, thorough, and accessible" -- Leif Wenar, University of Sheffield, UK
