Ces Leçons sur l''histoire de la philosophie morale représentent l''aboutissement mûrement réfléchi de près de trente ans d''enseignement à Harvard (1962-1991). Pendant ces années, la pensée de John Rawls s''est confrontée aux textes majeurs de la modernité philosophique dans un souci de transmission pédagogique, mais surtout de mise en perspective des sources de ses propres conceptions morales et politiques. Il signale ainsi dans quelle mesure Théorie de la Justice s''inscrit dans la lignée des systèmes de pensée et des problématiques qu''il examine par ailleurs avec le plus grand scrupule philologique. L''une des vertus essentielles de cet ouvrage est de démentir l''idée reçue selon laquelle le style analytique d''une certaine philosophie politique anglo-saxonne la rendrait insensible aux enjeux de pensée soulevés par l''histoire de la philosophie.
