Ronald Dworkin

Ronald Dworkin was a prominent legal and political philosopher known for his arguments on rights and justice. He believed in "moral realism," which asserts that moral truths exist independently of human opinion. Dworkin emphasized individual rights, arguing that they are fundamental and should guide political decisions. He proposed that justice involves treating individuals with equal respect and concern. In the context of distributive justice, Dworkin advocated for a fair allocation of resources, considering individual needs and contributions. His work challenges the idea of legal positivism by asserting that law is deeply connected to moral principles.
