More from John Rawls
"No one knows his place in society, his class position or social status, nor does anyone know his fortune in the distribution of natural assets and abilities, his intelligence, strength, and the like."
"We are not trying to find a theory that explains our considered judgments of justice; we are trying to find a theory that justifies them."
"No one deserves his greater natural capacity nor merits a more favorable starting place in society."
"The proper perspective is that of the original position."
"Once we understand the principles of justice, we can then apply them to the real world, and see what kind of society they would lead to."
