A Theory of Justice by John Rawls is a groundbreaking work in political philosophy that introduces the concept of "justice as fairness. Rawls outlines principles of justice that aim to ensure a just and equitable society by focusing on fairness and equality.
Central to the book is the "original position," a hypothetical scenario where individuals, behind a "veil of ignorance," choose the principles that will govern their society, free from bias or personal interest.
Rawls proposes two key principles: equal basic rights for all and the arrangement of social and economic inequalities to benefit the least advantaged.
This seminal text reshaped modern debates on justice, equality, and political ethics.
