This book is the first detailed reconstruction of the late work of
John Rawls, who was perhaps the most influential philosopher of the
twentieth century. Rawls's 1971 treatise, A Theory of Justice,
stimulated an outpouring of commentary on 'justice-as-fairness,'
his conception of justice for an ideal, self-contained, modern
political society. Most of that commentary took Rawls to be
defending welfare-state capitalism as found in Western Europe and
the United States. Far less attention has been given to Rawls's
2001 book, Justice as Fairness: A Restatement. In the Restatement,
Rawls not only substantially reformulates the 'original position'
argument for the two principles of justice-as-fairness but also
repudiates capitalist regimes as possible embodiments. Edmundson
further develops Rawls's non-ideal theory, which guides us when we
find ourselves in a society that falls well short of justice.
