PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF DWORKIN`S THEORY OF JUSTICE

Summary/Abstract: Ronald Dworkin, together with John Rawls, has had a central role in renovating political philosophy in the second half of the 20th century, through thematizing liberal theories of justice. Rawls` conception of “justice as fairness” is centered on the concept of liberty, while Dworkin’s conception of justice as “equality of resources” is centered on the concept of equality. The long and distinguished career of Ronald Dworkin – as an academic lawyer and political philosopher – has been designed and designated by the attempt to show how an egalitarian vision of the world can shape the character of liberal-democratic legal, political, social, and market institutions. Dworkin tends to reaffirm the value of equality within the framework of contemporary liberal political philosophy.
