In this superb introduction, Samuel Freeman introduces and
assesses the main topics of Rawls' philosophy. Starting with a
brief biography and charting the influences on Rawls' early
thinking, he goes on to discuss the heart of Rawls's philosophy:
his principles of justice and their practical application to
society.
Subsequent chapters discuss Rawls's theories of liberty,
political and economic justice, democratic institutions, goodness
as rationality, moral psychology, political liberalism, and
international justice and a concluding chapter considers Rawls'
legacy.
Clearly setting out the ideas in Rawls' masterwork, A Theory of
Justice, Samuel Freeman also considers Rawls' other key works,
including Political Liberalism and The Law of Peoples. An
invaluable introduction to this deeply influential philosopher,
Rawls is essential reading for anyone coming to his work for the
first time.
