Course Description

Summary

John Rawls (1921-2003) was one of the most important political philosophers of the twentieth century. His first major work, A Theory of Justice (1971) transformed the field of political philosophy and his ideas and arguments remain at the center of the philosophical debate on the question of justice. This course consists of a careful study of the main arguments in his early and late work as well as a consideration of some of the critical literature. This is a guided, but largely self-directed course of study.
