The chapters in this book analyze the relationship between core
concepts of the common good and the work of American political
philosopher John Rawls. One of the main criticisms that has been
made of Rawls is his supposed neglect of central aspects of
collective life. The contributors to this book explore the
possibility of a substantive and community-oriented interpretation
of Rawls's thought. The chapters investigate Rawls's views on
values such as community, faith, fraternity, friendship, gender
equality, love, political liberty, reciprocity, respect, sense of
justice, and virtue. They demonstrate that Rawls finds a balance
between certain individualistic aspects of his theory of justice
and the value of community. In doing so, the book offers insightful
new readings of Rawls. John Rawls and the Common Good will be of
interest to scholars and advanced students working in political,
moral, and legal philosophy.
