John Rawls By Othello Jimenez

John Rawls

Places he has been Rawls was born and raised in Baltimore Maryland. He studied at Princeton. His first appointment was at mit, and he became a faculty member at Harvard university.

influences Originally he was influenced by Wittgenstein's student Norman Malcolm, and it gave him an interesting outlook on life but after he returned from world war ll he had a more pacifist outlook, so he protested the war in Afghanistan and tried to get others to do so as well.

Contributing to philosophical knowledge After Rawls was in world war 2 and saw all the inhumane killing in the holocaust he protested the Afghanistan war, he came up with the philosophy justice as fairness which is made up of 2 principals First Principle: Each person has the same indefeasible claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic liberties, which scheme is compatible with the same scheme of liberties for all; Second Principle: Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: They are to be attached to offices and positions open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; They are to be to the greatest benefit of the least-advantaged members of society (the difference principle). (JF, 42–43)
