Author: Rawls, John and Erin Kelly
Title: Justice As Fairness: A Restatement
Description: Cambridge, Mass, Harvard University Press, 2001. Hardcover. Black cloth boards with silver spine lettering; brown dj, color illustrated, mylar cover; xviii, 214 pp. "This book originated as lectures for a course on political philosophy that Rawls taught regularly at Harvard in the 1980s. In time the lectures became a restatement of his theory of justice as fairness, revised in light of his more recent papers and his treatise Political Liberalism (1993). Rawls offers a broad overview of his main lines of thought and also explores specific issues never before addressed in any of his writings. He is well aware that since the publication of A Theory of Justice in 1971, American society has moved farther away from the idea of justice as fairness. Yet his ideas retain their power and relevance to debates in a pluralistic society about the meaning and theoretical viability of liberalism. This book demonstrates that moral clarity can be achieved even when a collective commitment to justice is uncertain."- dj. Contents include: Principles of Justice -- The Argument from the Original Position -- Institutions of a Just Basic Structure -- The Question of Stability. VG-/VG- (ex-library with labels and stamps on spine, block, inside front and rear covers and title page verso. Light shelfwear to boards and block. Pages are clean and clear.) .
