John Rawls' 'A Theory of Justice'

Abstract: An 11 page paper discussing Rawls' system of justice, which must be based on the least advantaged individual in the society. That one claiming unfairness in justice obviously becomes the least advantaged. That individual then provides the basis for the system of justice no longer being fair, and policy makers are obliged to withdraw once more behind the 'veil of ignorance' in order to accommodate the individual and his changing society. The paper also provides background on the philosophy of Kant and Mill, who provides the framework of utilitarianism that Rawls reshapes into his theory of justice. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
