 I
think the most important thing you've said is that for Rawls
there is no independent criterion for principles of justice. They
are not, for example, derived from human nature or the nature of things.
Nor do they depend on the
will of God.
The principles are 'correct' because of the procedure by which they are chosen. Nothing else. Those of us who hope to find foundations independent of human choices or human attitudes will have to look elsewhere for a theory of justice. |
