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.

This last book by the late John Rawls, derived from written
lectures and notes for his long-running course on modern political
philosophy, offers readers an account of the liberal political
tradition from a scholar viewed by many as the greatest
contemporary exponent of the philosophy behind that tradition.
Rawls's goal in the lectures was, he wrote, "to identify the
more central features of liberalism as expressing a political
conception of justice when liberalism is viewed from within the
tradition of democratic constitutionalism." He does this by looking
at several strands that make up the liberal and democratic
constitutional traditions, and at the historical figures who best
represent these strands--among them the contractarians Hobbes,
Locke, and Rousseau; the utilitarians Hume, Sidgwick, and J. S.
Mill; and Marx regarded as a critic of liberalism. Rawls's lectures
on Bishop Joseph Butler also are included in an appendix.
Constantly revised and refined over three decades, Rawls's lectures
on these figures reflect his developing and changing views on the
history of liberalism and democracy--as well as how he saw his own
work in relation to those traditions.
With its clear and careful analyses of the doctrine of the
social contract, utilitarianism, and socialism--and of their most
influential proponents--this volume has a critical place in the
traditions it expounds. Marked by Rawls's characteristic patience
and curiosity, and scrupulously edited by his student and teaching
assistant, Samuel Freeman, these lectures are a fitting final
addition to his oeuvre, and to the history of political philosophy
as well.
