The Independent Review - Winter 2021/22

この問題で

In this issue of “The Independent Review,” Alexander Rawls—the son of philosopher John Rawls—argues that the theory of “justice as fairness” does not adequately handle the question of what people actually deserve. The best a society can hope for is a set of rules that create conventions of property rights and predictable order. A theory of justice that ignores the costs of adjudicating disputes is simply an invitation to rent-seeking. This issue also contains articles from three prominent young philosophers assessing Alexander Rawls’ insights into his father's work.
