Realizing Rawls (Ithaca: Cornell University Press 1989).  Chinese  French

Book Cover of "Realizing Rawls"

   Abstract: Part One defends Rawls’s focus on basic social institutions, and his maximin idea, against the criticisms of Nozick and Sandel. Part Two critically develops Rawls’s criterion of justice — accommodating basic social and economic needs under the first principle; education, employment, and health care under the opportunity principle; and leisure under the difference principle. Part Three shows, on internal and external grounds, that Rawls’s conception must today apply to the world at large. Properly specified, Rawls’s criterion yields plausible priorities for global institutional reform and can help move international relations from modus vivendi toward overlapping consensus on values.
