More from John Rawls
"The role of philosophy in a democratic society is to help citizens clarify their own political values and to find public reasons for their political positions."
"The intuitive force of the difference principle is that it ensures that the least advantaged benefit from the achievements of the more advantaged."
"The idea of public reason is not a limit on individual thought, but a limit on how citizens are to present their political arguments to one another."
"A just society aims to secure the primary goods for all its citizens."
"The main idea is that society is a cooperative venture for mutual advantage."
