Rawlsian Ethics
Rawlsian ethics is based on the ideas of philosopher John Rawls, focusing on creating a fair society. It emphasizes principles chosen behind a "veil of ignorance," where individuals don't know their own social status or abilities. Under this, they would select rules ensuring equal rights and benefits for all, especially the least advantaged. The approach seeks justice by designing societal arrangements that are fair and just for everyone, promoting equality and fairness despite differing personal circumstances.
