Justice as Fairness: Political Not Metaphysical

In: Philosophy & public affairs, Band 14, Heft 3, S. 223-251

Abstract

Deep disagreement exists as to how the values of liberty & equality are best served. The nature of this disagreement is discussed, as well as the conflict between moral & political values, focusing on the idea of justice-as-fairness as a practical basis for informed & willing political agreement between citizens viewed as free & equal persons.
