A Theory of Justice (book)

"A Theory of Justice," by philosopher John Rawls, presents a framework for designing a fair society. Rawls argues that principles of justice should be chosen from an original position—an idea where individuals decide rules without knowing their place in society, ensuring fairness. He advocates for two key principles: equal basic rights for all and social inequalities only if they benefit the least advantaged. Rawls's approach emphasizes fairness, fairness, and equality, encouraging societies to structure laws and institutions that promote justice for everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
