Críticas
The most substantial and interesting contribution to moral philosophy since the war. -- Stuart Hampshire "New York Review of Books" Rawls has elucidated a conception of justice which goes beyond anything to be found in Kant or Rousseau. It is a convincing refutation, if one is needed, of any lingering suspicions that the tradition of English-speaking political philosophy might be dead. Indeed, his book might plausibly be claimed to be the most notable contribution to that tradition to have been published since Sidgwick and Mill. A rich, complicated, and fundamental work...Rawls possesses a deep sense of the multiple connections between social institutions and individual psychology. Without illusion he describes a pluralistic social order that will call forth the support of free men and evoke what is best in them. To have made such a vision precise, alive, and convincing is a memorable achievement. -- Thomas Nagel "Philosophical Review" [Rawls] has elucidated a conception of justice which goes beyond anything to be found in Kant or Rousseau. It is a convincing refutation, if one is needed, of any lingering suspicions that the tradition of English-speaking political philosophy might be dead. Indeed, his book might plausibly be claimed to be the most notable contribution to that tradition to have been published since Sidgwick and Mill. Enlightenment comes in various forms, sometimes even by means of books. And it is a pleasure to recommend...an indigenous American philosophical masterpiece of the first order...I mean...to press my recommendation of [this book] to non-philosophers, especially those holding positions of responsibility in law and government. For the topic with which it deals is central to this country's purposes, and the misunderstanding of that topic is central to its difficulties...And the central idea is simple, elegant, plausible, and easily applied by anybody at any time as a measure of the justice of his own actions. -- Peter Caws "New Republic" In his magisterial new work...John Rawls draws on the most subtle techniques of contemporary analytic philosophy to provide the social contract tradition with what is, from a philosophical point of view at least, the most formidable defense it has yet received...[and] makes available the powerful intellectual resources and the comprehensive approach that have so far eluded antiutilitarians. He also makes clear how wrong it was to claim, as so many were claiming only a few years back, that systematic moral and political philosophy are dead...Whatever else may be true it is surely true that we must develop a sterner and more fastidious sense of justice. In making his peerless contribution to political theory, John Rawls has made a unique contribution to this urgent task. No higher achievement is open to a scholar. -- Marshall Cohen "New York Times Book Review" "In his magisterial new work...John Rawls draws on the most subtle techniques of contemporary analytic philosophy to provide the social contract tradition with what is, from a philosophical point of view at least, the most formidable defense it has yet received...[and] makes available the powerful intellectual resources and the comprehensive approach that have so far eluded antiutilitarians.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. States "second printing 1972." A heavy octavo of almost 3 lbs., with a "Withdrawn" stamp to FFE, a faint "Beaverton City Library" stamp to top page edges, and a manila card holder of the Beaverton (Oregon) City Library glued to rear Free Endpaper. Price-clipped green dust jacket also bears a scannable bar-code label to front panel, and an inch-square white label to foot of jacket spine. Internal hinges were long ago supported with white library tape, and jacket shows chipping at head of spine -- call this volume "good in good ex-library." The author was a Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University, and while not a declared socialist, was in fact a leveler, contending it's "unjust" for members of the working class to fare worse overall than those born into the "entrepreneurial" class, since it's the duty and proper role of society to distribute wealth and goods more or less equally. So, we're supposed to believe it was only because they were born into wealthy and privileged "entrepreneurial" families that wealth and influence (unjustly) crowned the labors of bobbin boy-turned telegraph messenger Andrew Carnegie; John D. Rockefeller (son of a con man who abandoned his family, a boy who started his business career at 16 as a bookkeeper's assistant at 50 cents a day); seventh-grade dropout turned gas station operator Harland Sanders; impoverished orphan Andrew Jackson; truck driver Elvis Presley, and apprentice meat cutter John Jacob Astor? One of the main reasons such success stories have become less common in America is the tax and regulatory burden imposed on savings and investment by the redistributionist, confiscatory schemes of "economic justice" promoted by the levelers allowed to shelter from the real economic consequences of such tyranny over the aspirations of the human soul at places like (vastly endowed) Harvard University. 607 pp. including Index.)
