    Uploaded by

    Teody Quimilat
    The document discusses John Rawl's theory of justice as fairness. It presents his concepts of the veil of ignorance, where individuals do not know their place in society, and the difference principle, where social and economic inequalities are just only if they benefit society's least advantaged. Freedom and equality are presented as not being mutually exclusive, and true justice requires equal rights under the law for all.

    Justice to be truly just, everyone must be


    afforded the same rights under the law

    No one can know where they will be after the veil experiment and
    finished

    Difference Principle

    Social and Economic Inequalities


    Veil of Ignorance Inequalities of wealth and authority are just only if they result in
    compensatory benefits for everyone and in particular for the least
    advantaged members of the society.
