Critical studies of A Theory of Justice by Norman Daniels
This is a collection of fourteen essays on John Rawls' A Theory of Justice, one of the most widely read and widely acclaimed works of American philosophy in recent years. The articles, by philosophers and social scientists from both sides of the Atlantic, include material specially prepared for the collection, revisions of previously published material and several reprints of recent articles.
Contributions are topically organized to provide a balanced discussion of central themes and problems in Rawls' theory. Thomas Nagel, Ronald Dworkin and Milton Fisk raise a variety of questions about Rawls' attempt to employ the social contract model of earlier political theory. Papers by R.
M. Hare, Joel Feinberg, Gerald Dworkin and David Lyons raise other questions about his methodology and moral epistemology. Contributions by T. M. Scanlon, Richard Miller, H. L. A. Hart and Norman Daniels analyse the treatment of liberty and the derivation of Rawls' two principles for distributing social goods. Finally, A. K. Sen, Benjamin Barber and Frank Michelman discuss certain implications of Rawls' theory from the point of view of economics, political science, and the law. More than just a representative sample of the first wave of critical response to Rawls' book, this collection is intended as a teaching aid for the student of philosophy and social theory and as a guide to further work for the philosopher and social scientist.
