Samuel Freeman's insightful work delves into the evolving landscape of contemporary philosophy of justice, using the monumental contributions of John Rawls as its central analytical framework. This book meticulously examines the core tenets of Rawlsian thought, including principles of justice as fairness, the original position, and reflective equilibrium, and traces their profound impact on subsequent debates. Freeman not only clarifies Rawls's complex ideas but also critically engages with their reception, critiques, and enduring relevance in modern political and ethical discourse. It offers a comprehensive understanding of how Rawls shaped, and continues to shape, our conceptualization of a just society.
