A bold new history of postwar political philosophy and of how John
Rawls transformed modern liberalism In the Shadow of Justice tells
the story of how liberal political philosophy was transformed in
the second half of the twentieth century under the influence of
John Rawls. In this first-ever history of contemporary liberal
theory, Katrina Forrester shows how liberal egalitarianism-a set of
ideas about justice, equality, obligation, and the state-became
dominant, and traces its emergence from the political and
ideological context of the postwar United States and Britain. In
the aftermath of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War,
political philosophers extended, developed, and reshaped liberalism
as they responded to challenges and alternatives on the left and
right-from the New International Economic Order to the rise of the
New Right. These thinkers remade political philosophy in ways that
influenced both liberal theory and its critics. Recasting the
history of late twentieth-century political thought, In the Shadow
of Justice offers a rigorous look at liberalism's ambitions and
limits.
