{"product_id":"justice-as-fairness-a-restatement-9780674005112","title":"Justice as Fairness: A Restatement","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book originated as lectures for a course on political philosophy that Rawls taught regularly at Harvard in the 1980s. In time the lectures became a restatement of his theory of justice as fairness, revised in light of his more recent papers and his treatise \u003ci\u003ePolitical Liberalism\u003c\/i\u003e (1993). As Rawls writes in the preface, the restatement presents \"in one place an account of justice as fairness as I now see it, drawing on all [my previous] works.\" He offers a broad overview of his main lines of thought and also explores specific issues never before addressed in any of his writings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRawls is well aware that since the publication of \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e in 1971, American society has moved farther away from the idea of justice as fairness. Yet his ideas retain their power and relevance to debates in a pluralistic society about the meaning and theoretical viability of liberalism. This book demonstrates that moral clarity can be achieved even when a collective commitment to justice is uncertain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRawls, John:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - John Rawls was James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University.
