John 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. Though the revised edition of A Theory of
Justice, published in 1999, is the definitive statement of Rawls's
view, much of the extensive literature on his theory refers to the
original. This first edition is available for scholars and serious
students of Rawls's work.
