In Rawls, Dewey and Constructivism, Eric Weber examines and
critiques John Rawls' epistemology and the unresolved tension -
inherited from Kant - between Representationalism and
Constructivism in Rawls' work. Weber argues that, despite Rawls'
claims to be a constructivist, his unexplored Kantian influences
cause several problems. In particular, Weber criticises Rawls'
failure to explain the origins of conceptions of justice, his
understanding of "persons" and his revival of Social Contract
Theory. Drawing on the work of John Dewey to resolve these
problems, the book argues for a rigorously constructivist approach
to the concept of justice and explores the practical implications
of such an approach for Education.
