Book synopsis

The late John Rawls was one of the most inspiring, provocative and influential political philosophers of the twentieth century. In this collection, a panel of distinguished political philosophers critically explore the intellectual legacy of Rawls. The essays herein engage Rawls' political theorizing from his earliest published writings in the 1950s to his final publication in 2001, "Justice as Fairness: A Restatement" and explore a diversity of issues related to his arguments, such as the attractiveness of his methodology/methodologies, and the normative coherence and empirical validity of his claims. In turn, the effectiveness both of his arguments and those of various supporters and critics are evaluated from the perspective of a variety of analytical approaches, including cosmopolitanism, communitarianism, perfectionism, liberalism, and legal theory.This book is an edifying and engaging dialogue with ideas and arguments that have provided the theoretical framework for much of contemporary political philosophy, and a thoughtful assessment of their continuing significance and place within the pantheon of political philosophy.
