A Theory of Justice - Relationship To Rawls' Later Work

Relationship To Rawls' Later Work

The original Theory of Justice, was an important but controversial and much criticized work of political philosophy. Although Rawls never retreated from the core argument of A Theory of Justice, he modified his theory substantially in subsequent works such as Justice as Fairness: A Restatement (2001), in which he clarified and re-organised much of the argument of A Theory of Justice.

    “Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
