The ideology of Rawls influenced by J.S. Mill and Kant, but his definition and ideas for just society do not qualify modern political thoughts. I think there is no ideal just society because we make rules and regulation with knowledge of social structure.
I don’t think that people will construct rules in the manner of Rawls, the idea of justice came from similarities while there is no ideal similar society so we need open justice rather than a veil of ignorance.

Most political philosophers believe we have a duty to obey laws, even if the laws in question do not have any moral grounding (e.g. laws about where to park, or laws prohibiting annoying but otherwise harmless behavior). Some argue that we are parties to a tacit agreement or contract with the state, and that it is the source of our political obligations. Others argue that the "contract" we have with the state is not anything we've ever tacitly or explicitly...

SUBSTANTIVE FAIRNESS When evaluating whether a particular allocation or outcome is fair we can make both substantive and procedural judgements. Substantive judgements of fairness are based on the characteristics of the allocation itself, not how it was determined. Consider the society you live in, or another society with which you are familiar. 1. To make this society fairer, would you want greater equality of income, happiness, or freedom? Why? Would there be a trade-off between these aspects? 2. Are there...

3. Redistributive philosophies Complete the following table by selecting the redistributive philosophy that matches each statement. Statement Utilitarianism Libertarianism Liberalism The government should choose policies deemed to be just, as evaluated by an impartial observer behind a "veil of ignorance."

positively respond to post below: The Book of Leviticus is often considered the law book of the Bible. Under its rules, failure to abide by certain laws would result in death. List at least three of these laws. Anyone who curses their mother or father shall be put to death (I'd be dead). A man who commits adultery with another man's wife, the man and woman would be put to death. A man or a woman who is a medium...

QUESTION 19 This question, and the three questions that follow it, have to do with the following paragraph from John Rawls's A Theory of Justice. One should not be misled, then, by the somewhat unusual conditions which characterize the original position. The idea here is simply to make vivid to ourselves the restrictions that it seems reasonable to impose on arguments for principles of justice, and therefore on these principles themselves. Thus it seems reasonable and generally acceptable that no...

I can't figure out the answers to these questions for my test corrections. I just need an answer and then I should be able to find the explanation in my notes. The purpose of Rawls' veil of ignorance is to (a) prevent the contractors from adopting principles of justice that unfairly advantage themselves. (b) make it easier for people from behind the veil to make decisions about which principles to adopt. (c) ensure that the principles of justice are not...
