{"product_id":"justice-as-fairness-by-john-rawls-9780674005112","title":"Justice as Fairness","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\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\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486146904300,"sku":"9780674005112","price":87.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/bf86761fc0d336512c3bfabdfabdc1ff.jpg?v=1775779848","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/justice-as-fairness-by-john-rawls-9780674005112","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
