5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading on the Later Rawls, August 28, 2000
By 
Robert Talisse (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Idea of a Political Liberalism: Essays on Rawls (Studies in Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy) (Hardcover)
THE IDEA OF A POLITICAL LIBERALISM contains 14 essays-- many by leading scholars-- critically examining the recent work of John Rawls. This is the first collection of its kind, and is essential reading for anyone interested in Rawls's "political, not metaphysical" interpretation of justice as fairness. Topics include: the distinction between reasonable and unreasonable persons and comprehensive doctrines, public reason and religious commitment, Rawls's idea of an "overlapping consensus," and the implications of political liberalism for constitutional and international law. A must read for any serious student of current political philosophy.

"sgt41pd" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Idea of a Political Liberalism: Essays on Rawls (Studies in Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy) (Hardcover)
This is a rare oppertunity to read the writing of a future leader of our country. Hershovitz is a Rhodes scholar with a bright future. Buy this book and you can say you knew him before he was famous. Fascinating reading.
