Teoría de la Justicia

The "Teoría de la Justicia" (Theory of Justice), developed by philosopher John Rawls, is a framework for what makes a fair and just society. It suggests principles that ensure equality and fairness, such as equal rights for all and policies that benefit the least advantaged. Rawls introduces the idea of choosing principles behind a “veil of ignorance,” where individuals design society without knowing their future position, promoting impartiality. Overall, it emphasizes fairness, equity, and safeguarding individual rights as the foundation for social justice.
