Focus on basic structure: assumptions for a just society according to John Rawls
Keywords:
Basic structure. Justice. Fairness. Reasonable. Rational.Abstract
For John Rawls, a fair society, at first, is a political community where there is the prevalence of cooperation, sense of justice and citizenship virtues. As far as his theory is concerned, there is no intension to examine the application of justice, in general, in the institutions or in the social practices. Therefore, his study is limited to the principles of justice, which will be the basis for a well-organized social basic structure in which each citizen acts with justice and contributes for the maintenance of fair institutions.Downloads
