First published in 1975, this collection includes many of the best
critical responses to John Rawls' A Theory of Justice, and the
editor has elected to reissue the book without making any
substitutions. As he argues in his new preface, the variety of
issues raise in the original papers has been a major part of the
book's appeal. He also acknowledges that no modest revision of this
book could pretend to respond adequately to the considerable
elaboration and evolution of Rawls' theory in the last fifteen
years. Political philosophy has been one of the most exciting areas
of philosophical activity in the years since A Theory of Justice,
and much of that activity has been a response to Rawls' work. In
his preface, the editor suggests how some of the insights and
criticisms contained in the collection have had a bearing on
developments in Rawls' theory and in political philosophy more
generally, and that fresh reading of each of them reveals
additional important points that have not yet received adequate
attention. The contributors are: Benjamin Barber, Norman Daniels,
Gerald Dworkin, Ronald Dworkin, Joel Feinberg, Milton Fisk, R.M.
Hare, H.L.A. Hart, David Lyons, Frank Michelman, Richard Miller,
Thomas Nagel, T.M. Scanlon, and A.K. Sen.
