The Actuality of John Rawls’s Theory of Justice

Summary/Abstract: John Rawls's book A Theory of Justice, published in 1971, unexpectedly garnered immense attention not only among philosophers and legal theorists but also within the broader reading public. The positions presented in the book are largely based on critique of existing dogmatic and normative ideological currents rooted in liberalism and utilitarianism, as well as on reaffirming the philosophy of natural law that seeks the axiological and ethical roots of positive legal norms. By legitimizing the fundamental principles of liberalism (present in various philosophical forms since Ancient Greece) Rawls advocates for the need to establish social justice as a corrective to the freedom of individuals to pursue economic and material wealth. This correction aims to enable a dignified life for all members of society, regardless of their current social status or life chances.
