Description:From th introduction by the authorBriefly, I propose to read A Theory of Justice not as a single piece of philosophical argument to be tested and accepted whole, but as a complex, many-layered record of at least twenty years of philosophical growth and development. I shall argue that Rawls began with a simple, coherent, comprehensible problem and a brilliant idea for its solution [...] The labyrinthic complexities of A Theory of Justice are the consequences of at least three stages in the development of Rawls´thought, in each of which he complicated his theory to meet objections others had raised to earlier versions, or which he himself perceived.ContentsPART ONE: INTRODUCTION1.
