Mars 1991 : John Rawls répond à trois de ses étudiants dans son bureau à Harvard. Cet entretien constitue un exemple unique d'autobiographie intellectuelle par un auteur peu enclin à parler de lui-même. Vingt ans après la parution de la Théorie de la justice, il revient sur l'évolution de sa pensée à partir d'une vision de la philosophie comme "discipline conversationnelle". Rawls nous livre ici, sur un ton familier, sa conception de la philosophie politique comme contribution à la critique des injustices.
