Synopsis

Wide ranging and up to date, this is the single most comprehensive treatment of the most influential political philosopher of the 20th century, John Rawls. * An unprecedented survey that reflects the surge of Rawls scholarship since his death, and the lively debates that have emerged from his work * Features an outstanding list of contributors, including senior as well as next generation Rawls scholars * Provides careful, textually informed exegesis and well-developed critical commentary across all areas of his work, including non-Rawlsian perspectives * Includes discussion of new material, covering Rawls s work from the newly published undergraduate thesis to the final writings on public reason and the law of peoples * Covers Rawls s moral and political philosophy, his distinctive methodological commitments, and his relationships to the history of moral and political philosophy and to jurisprudence and the social sciences * Includes discussion of his monumental 1971 book, A Theory of Justice, which is often credited as having revitalized political philosophy
