Product Description
John Rawls was one of the most important political philosophers of our time, and promises to be an enduring figure over the coming decades. His Theory of Justice (1971) has had a profound impact across philosophy, politics, law, and economics. Nonetheless Rawlsian theory is not easy to understand, particularly for beginners, and his writing can be dense and forbidding. Thomas Pogge's short introduction (originally published in German) gives a thorough and concise presentation of the main outlines of Rawls's theory, introduces biographical information when necessary, and draws links between the Rawlsian enterprise and other important positions in moral and political philosophy.

Great Introduction, 2008-02-13
This book has been a great introduction to Rawls and his Theory of Justice. As a non-professional this book provided for me a great overview of the major important parts of the theory. It also provides a set of critiques brought on by others and by the author himself. Most objections to portions of the theory are addressed but Pogge has offered others that are still open to discussion. The book covers not just the Theory of Justice but the restatement and current topics relating to the theory. All-in-all a very good read.
