John Rawls: Reticent Socialist: Ideal Theory and Practical Demands by William A.

Description: John Rawls: Reticent Socialist by William A. Edmundson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book is the first detailed reconstruction of the late work of John Rawls. It focuses on Rawlss presentation of two regime types capable of realizing justice-as-fairness: property-owning democracy and liberal socialism. Long mistaken as an apologist for welfare-state capitalism, Rawls emerges here as an understated advocate of socialism. Publisher Description This book is the first detailed reconstruction of the late work of John Rawls, who was perhaps the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century. Rawlss 1971 treatise, A Theory of Justice, stimulated an outpouring of commentary on justice-as-fairness, his conception of justice for an ideal, self-contained, modern political society. Most of that commentary took Rawls to be defending welfare-state capitalism as found in Western Europe and the United States. Far less attention has been given to Rawlss 2001 book, Justice as Fairness: A Restatement. In the Restatement, Rawls not only substantially reformulates the original position argument for the two principles of justice-as-fairness but also repudiates capitalist regimes as possible embodiments. Edmundson further develops Rawlss non-ideal theory, which guides us when we find ourselves in a society that falls well short of justice. Author Biography William A.
