Price of $15.00 on the front flap of the dust jacket. With a few in-text black and white diagrams. SEP, Wenar, "John Rawls". Slater 757. John Rawls was one of the best-known and most influential figures in political and moral philosophy in the later 20th and early 21st centuries. A Theory of Justice is the first book in which he laid out his theory of justice as fairness and is widely considered to be his magnum opus. In addition to being one of the landmark works in political philosophy, the book has been extraordinarily influential outside of academic philosophy, particularly in the legal community. Rawls' work is clearly within the tradition of classic liberalism, but is filled with original and engaging arguments and has spawned a vast literature. An essential and justly renowned work in political philosophy. Very Good / Very Good. Item #000017239
