John Rawls and the Common Good, Paperback / softback Book

John Rawls and the Common Good Paperback / softback

Edited by Roberto Luppi

Part of the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

Description

The chapters in this book analyze the relationship between core concepts of the common good and the work of American political philosopher John Rawls. One of the main criticisms that has been made of Rawls is his supposed neglect of central aspects of collective life.

The contributors to this book explore the possibility of a substantive and community-oriented interpretation of Rawls’s thought.

The chapters investigate Rawls’s views on values such as community, faith, fraternity, friendship, gender equality, love, political liberty, reciprocity, respect, sense of justice, and virtue.

They demonstrate that Rawls finds a balance between certain individualistic aspects of his theory of justice and the value of community.

In doing so, the book offers insightful new readings of Rawls. John Rawls and the Common Good will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in political, moral, and legal philosophy.
