Andrea Booker continues to endure life's struggles.

Could an inner conviction outweigh all of the negativity that she has heard, and continues to hear? Will she have the strength to bear the burden inherent with superhero fandom? Will the introduction of a new superhero give her the perfect excuse to stop being Miss Mighty? Is Miss Mighty gone for good?

Das Recht der Völker

Das Recht der Völker
Welche Bedingungen lassen Völker gerecht und friedlich zusammenleben? Unter welchen Umständen sind Kriege gerechtfertigt? Welche Leitlinien müssen gegeben sein für Organisationen, die eine gerechte Gesellschaft von Völkern mit gleichen Rechten herzustellen vermögen? In acht Grundsätzen für eine gerechte internationale Ordnung entwickelt der amerikanische Philosoph John Rawls einen hypothetischen "Vertrag der Gesellschaft der Völker". Das jüngste Buch von John Rawls ist nach A Theory of Justice 1971, dt. 1975) und Political Liberalism (1993, dt. 1998) ein weiteres wichtiges Werk des bedeutenden amerikanischen Philosophen. Die Originalausgabe (The Law of Peoples, 1999) hat zu heftigen Kontroversen geführt.

Una teoria della giustizia

release date: Oct 17, 2010
Una teoria della giustizia
"Portando a un alto grado di generalizzazione e astrazione la tradizionale teoria del contratto sociale, Rawls propone una teoria della giustizia come equità che ha per oggetto i principi che modellano l''assetto fondamentale delle istituzioni della società. I principi di giustizia sono quelli che persone razionali sceglierebbero in una posizione iniziale di eguaglianza. In questa situazione ipotetica, nessuno conosce la propria posizione nella società, la propria sorte nella distribuzione, naturale e sociale, di doti e capacità.Deliberando dietro un ''velo di ignoranza'', gli individui determinano i loro diritti e doveri, accordandosi sullo schema equo (giustificabile per tutte le parti) di distribuzione dei costi e dei benefici della cooperazione sociale. Una teoria della giustizia è un libro di filosofia. Ma, come spesso accade con i migliori lavori filosofici, non è un libro per soli mostri o studiosi di filosofia: esso interessa direttamente le scienze politiche e sociali, dal diritto alla sociologia, dall''economia alla politologia. Infine, esso è un''impresa intellettuale e una sfida per chiunque ritenga rilevante e desiderabile la discussione e l''argomentazione razionale intorno ai principi che modellano le istituzioni di società a tradizione democratica."Salvatore Veca.

Lezioni di storia della filosofia morale

Lezioni di storia della filosofia morale
A partire dalla fine degli anni settanta, John Rawlstenne a Harvard un corso di filosofia morale, confluito in una serie di dispenseripetutamente rimaneggiate negli anni. Il libro, curato da Barbara Herman, suaex allieva e oggi stimata studiosa, e ultimato prima della morte di Rawls chepoté verificarne la versione definitiva, corrisponde alla loro ultima stesura.Queste lezioni sono la prova di come la storia della filosofia possa interagirefelicemente con le questioni odierne, senza tradirne lo spirito. John Rawlsriteneva infatti che in filosofia non si potesse parlare di progressivosuperamento delle teorie del passato, così come se ne parla in fisica o inbiologia. Le teorie del passato sono per lui forme compiute di risposta aquestioni reali che vanno lette nel loro contesto ma che possono dialogarepositivamente con il presente ed essere fonte di ispirazione per la soluzionedei nostri problemi. Rawls non piegava Kant, Leibniz, Hegel alla sua idea digiustizia, ma si sforzava di restituirne il pensiero nella sua integrità..“Questi testi,” diceva, “hanno molto da insegnarci. Io ho sempre dato perscontato che studiamo gli autori che giudichiamo più intelligenti di noi. Senon lo fossero, perché mai dovrei sprecare il mio tempo e quello dei mieistudenti?” Le venti lezioni delineano quattro categorie di ragionamentomorale: perfezionismo, utilitarismo, intuizionismo e costruttivismo kantiano,svolgendo la trama concettuale che da Leibniz e Hume arriva a Kant e Hegel.Offrono al lettore una introduzione a chiavi alla storia della filosofia modernae al filosofo politico l’opportunità di scoprire le fonti storiche delpensiero di uno dei più grandi filosofi del Novecento.Lezionidi storia della filosofia morale è un grande evento, perché esse cirestituiscono l’idea di Rawls dell’etica moderna come impresa unitaria e lasua capacità di comprenderne i temi e problemi di fondo, elementi che hannoispirato il suo pensiero politico.”Charles Larmore.

Lezioni di storia della filosofia politica

Lezioni di storia della filosofia politica
Le Lezioni si basano sulle dispense e sulle annotazioni per il corso di Filosofia politica moderna che John Rawls tenne all’Università di Harvard a partire dalla metà degli anni sessanta fino al suo ritiro dall’insegnamento, nel 1991. Rawls vi discute le concezioni dei fondatori del pensiero politico moderno: Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Rousseau, Mill e Marx. Lo scopo che Rawls si prefigge è quello di enucleare le idee che caratterizzano il liberalismo come teoria politica della giustizia. Il suo punto di partenza sono le teorie del contratto sociale, discute poi le obiezioni di Hume a tali teorie e presenta un’analisi dettagliata della versione non contrattualistica di Mill, per concludere con l’esame della critica marxiana al capitalismo liberale. Oltre a essere un eccellente manuale di storia della filosofia politica moderna, le Lezioni offrono a Rawls l’opportunità di operare un confronto sistematico tra la propria teoria e le concezioni morali della tradizione filosofica. Proprio questa caratteristica delle Lezioni consente a quanti sono già familiari con il pensiero di Rawls di scoprirne i nessi con i temi che egli esplora. In questo senso le Lezioni sono uno strumento indispensabile per la conoscenza del maggior teorico politico del Novecento.

A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith

release date: May 01, 2010
A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith
John Rawls never published anything about his own religious beliefs, but after his death two texts were discovered which shed extraordinary light on the subject. A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith is Rawls’s undergraduate senior thesis, submitted in December 1942, just before he entered the army. At that time Rawls was deeply religious; the thesis is a significant work of theological ethics, of interest both in itself and because of its relation to his mature writings. “On My Religion,” a short statement drafted in 1997, describes the history of his religious beliefs and attitudes toward religion, including his abandonment of orthodoxy during World War II. The present volume includes these two texts, together with an Introduction by Joshua Cohen and Thomas Nagel, which discusses their relation to Rawls’s published work, and an essay by Robert Merrihew Adams, which places the thesis in its theological context. The texts display the profound engagement with religion that forms the background of Rawls’s later views on the importance of separating religion and politics. Moreover, the moral and social convictions that the thesis expresses in religious form are related in illuminating ways to the central ideas of Rawls’s later writings. His notions of sin, faith, and community are simultaneously moral and theological, and prefigure the moral outlook found in Theory of Justice.

Le péché et la foi

release date: Jan 01, 2010
Le péché et la foi
Le theme de la religion occupe une place essentielle dans la pensee politique et morale de John Rawls, dont l''oeuvre cherche a comprendre comment des personnes aux croyances inconciliables peuvent neanmoins vivre ensemble dans une societe juste. Deux textes decouverts apres la mort du philosophe (introduits ici par Robert Adams, Joshua Cohen et Thomas Nagel) apportent un eclairage nouveau sur cet aspect de son oeuvre. Le premier, Une breve enquete sur la signification du peche et de la foi, est un essai de theologie morale, redige en 1942 alors que le jeune Rawls envisageait la pretrise. Affirmant la nature communautaire des personnes, il y definit le peche comme le rejet de la communaute et recuse toute vision de la societe comme un contrat. Le second, Sur ma religion, est un texte personnel redige cinquante ans plus tard, qui retrace l''evolution religieuse de Rawls et son eloignement du christianisme apres sa participation a la Deuxieme Guerre mondiale. Dans sa postface, Jurgen Habermas analyse la signification de l''ethique religieuse du jeune Rawls pour sa theorie politique.

La justicia como equidad

release date: Jun 01, 2008
La justicia como equidad
Este libro tiene su origen en las clases de filosofía política que Rawls impartía regularmente en Harvard en la década de 1980. Con el tiempo, las clases se convirtieron en una reformulación de su teoría de la justicia como equidad, revisada a la luz de sus artículos más recientes y de su tratado El liberalismo político (1993). Como escribe Rawls en el prefacio, la reformulación presenta «en un único lugar una exposición de la justicia como equidad tal como la entiendo ahora, apoyándome en todos esos trabajos». El libro ofrece una amplia visión de sus principales líneas de pensamiento y explora asimismo temas específicos que nunca fueron abordados en ninguno de sus escritos. Rawls es consciente de que, desde la publicación de la Teoría de la justicia en 1971, la sociedad se ha alejado aún más de la idea de la justicia como equidad. Sus ideas conservan, empero, todo su vigor y relevancia para los debates de una sociedad pluralista en torno al significado y la viabilidad teórica del liberalismo. Este libro demuestra que puede alcanzarse la claridad moral aun cuando el compromiso colectivo con la justicia sea incierto.

Leçons sur l'histoire de la philosophie morale

Leçons sur l'histoire de la philosophie morale
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.

Lecciones sobre la historia de la filosofía moral
John Rawls, el principal filósofo contemporáneo del derecho, ejerció a lo largo de tres décadas de docencia en Harvard una profunda influencia en la forma en que la ética filosófica se aborda y se entiende hoy en día. Este libro reúne las lecciones que inspiraron a toda una generación de estudiantes e impulsaron la regeneración de la disciplina. Para Rawls es fundamental conocer los grandes textos de nuestra tradición, pues ello nos permite establecer un fructífero intercambio de ideas a través de los siglos. Desde esta perspectiva, aborda a pensadores como Leibniz, Hume, Kant y Hegel en la medida en que dichos autores intentan definir con brillantez el papel de una concepción moral de la vida humana. Las lecciones conforman cuatro tipos básicos de razonamiento moral: el perfeccionismo, el utilitarismo, el intuicionismo y —objetivo final del curso de Rawls— el constructivismo kantiano. En sí mismas un espléndido curso sobre la historia de la filosofía moral, estas lecciones también nos ofrecen una excelente oportunidad de comprobar cómo John Rawls transformó nuestra visión de esa historia.

A Theory of Justice

release date: Mar 31, 2005
A Theory of Justice
John Rawls aims to express an essential part of the common core of the democratic tradition—justice as fairness—and to provide an alternative to utilitarianism, which had dominated the Anglo-Saxon tradition of political thought since the nineteenth century. Rawls substitutes the ideal of the social contract as a more satisfactory account of the basic rights and liberties of citizens as free and equal persons. “Each person,” writes Rawls, “possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override.” Advancing the ideas of Rousseau, Kant, Emerson, and Lincoln, Rawls’s theory is as powerful today as it was when first published. Though the revised edition of A Theory of Justice, published in 1999, is the definitive statement of Rawls’s view, much of the extensive literature on his theory refers to the original. This first edition is available for scholars and serious students of Rawls’s work.

La justice comme équité
" Dans ce travail, je poursuis deux objectifs. L''un consiste à rectifier les erreurs les plus graves de Théorie de la Justice, qui ont obscurci les idées principales de la Justice comme équité, ainsi que j''ai nommé la conception de la justice présentée dans ce livre. Comme j''ai toujours confiance en ces idées, et que j''estime que les difficultés les plus importantes peuvent être résolues, j''ai entrepris cette reformulation. J''essaie d''améliorer l''exposition, de corriger un certain nombre d''erreurs, d''inclure quelques révisions utiles, et d''esquisser des réponses à certaines des objections les plus communes. Je remanie également l''argumentation à de nombreux stades. " L''autre objectif est de, mettre en relation, dans le cadre d''une présentation unifiée, la conception de la justice présentée dans Théorie de la Justice avec les principales idées qui figurent dans mes essais publiés à partir de 1974. Théorie de la Justice est un livre de plus de six cents pages, et les essais les plus importants (qui sont à peu près une dizaine) portent le total à près de mille pages. De plus, les essais ne sont pas parfaitement compatibles entre eux, et les ambiguïtés de l''exposé de certaines idées - par exemple, celle d''un consensus par recoupement - rendent difficile d''y voir une position claire et cohérente. Le lecteur intéressé a droit à une aide pour comprendre la manière dont les essais et Théorie de la Justice peuvent se compléter, pour déceler les endroits où les révisions interviennent, et pour apprécier le changement qu''elles représentent.

Justice as Fairness

Justice as Fairness
This book originated as lectures for a course on political philosophy that Rawls taught regularly at Harvard in the 1980s. In time the lectures became a restatement of his theory of justice as fairness, revised in light of his more recent papers and his treatise Political Liberalism (1993). As Rawls writes in the preface, the restatement presents "in one place an account of justice as fairness as I now see it, drawing on all [my previous] works." He offers a broad overview of his main lines of thought and also explores specific issues never before addressed in any of his writings. Rawls is well aware that since the publication of A Theory of Justice in 1971, American society has moved farther away from the idea of justice as fairness. Yet his ideas retain their power and relevance to debates in a pluralistic society about the meaning and theoretical viability of liberalism. This book demonstrates that moral clarity can be achieved even when a collective commitment to justice is uncertain.

Collected Papers

Collected Papers
John Rawls’s work on justice has drawn more commentary and aroused wider attention than any other work in moral or political philosophy in the twentieth century. Rawls is the author of two major treatises, A Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism (1993); it is said that A Theory of Justice revived political philosophy in the English-speaking world. But before and after writing his great treatises Rawls produced a steady stream of essays. Some of these essays articulate views of justice and liberalism distinct from those found in the two books. They are important in and of themselves because of the deep issues about the nature of justice, moral reasoning, and liberalism they raise as well as for the light they shed on the evolution of Rawls’s views. Some of the articles tackle issues not addressed in either book. They help identify some of the paths open to liberal theorists of justice and some of the knotty problems which liberal theorists must seek to resolve. A complete collection of John Rawls’s essays is long overdue.

El derecho de gentes y "una revisión de la idea de razón pública"

release date: Jan 01, 2001
El derecho de gentes y "una revisión de la idea de razón pública"
Este libro esta dividido en dos partes. La revision de "La idea de razon publica," publicada en 1997, supone una minuciosa reelaboracion de un texto mucho mas breve que el autor presento por primera vez cuatro anos antes, en 1993, y es la culminacion de sus ideas sobre el liberalismo en su relacion con algunos de los problemas mas acuciantes de nuestro tiempo. En su version definitiva, el articulo en cuestion expone el modo en que las limitaciones de la razon publica pueden explicarse debidamente atendiendo a conceptos tanto religiosos como no religiosos. Se trata de un detallado relato acerca de las modernas democracias constitucionales, basadas en una concepcion politica liberal, y su aceptacion por parte de ciertos ciudadanos que no tolerarian doctrinas de ese tipo en campos como la religion, la filosofia o la moral. "El derecho de gentes," por su parte, parte de la idea del contrato social y establece los principios generales que pueden y deben ser aceptados por sociedades tanto liberales como no liberales como norma general para sus interrelaciones. En concreto, el texto traza una distincion crucial entre los derechos humanos basicos y los derechos de los ciudadanos de una democracia liberal y constitucional. Tambien explora los terminos segun los cuales una sociedad de este tipo puede declarar "justamente" la guerra a otra que no se atenga a esos principios y, en fin, debate los presupuestos morales adecuados que pueden servir como base para prestar ayuda a ciertas sociedades no liberales sometidas a condiciones politicas y economicas claramente desfavorables.

Uma teoria da justiça

Uma teoria da justiça
Esta obra propõe um itinerário para a descoberta e fundamentação racional dos princípios que devem reger a sociedade justa, os quais John Rawls considera que se adequam às convicções intuitivas sobre justiça. A sua argumentação situa-se na confluência de duas correntes culturais distintas - a do utilitarismo e as teorias do contrato social - na linha de Rousseau e de Kant - e visa criticar a primeira corrente, embora sem recusar o seu conteúdo metodológico.

Libéralisme politique

release date: Jan 01, 2001
Libéralisme politique
LIBÉRALISME Politique est le manifeste d''une philosophie politique et morale qui cherche à concilier les deux termes antagonistes de la modernité : la liberté des individus et la nécessité de leur coopération équitable au sein des institutions politiques. Dans ce livre qui fait suite à la Théorie de la justice - ouvrage dont le retentissement fut immense -, John Rawls renouvelle profondément le sens et la portée de sa conception de la justice à la lumière de ce qu''il appelle " le fait du pluralisme ". L''existence avérée d''une pluralité de convictions raisonnables mais incompatibles, en laquelle l''auteur reconnaît la donnée la plus problématique des sociétés contemporaines, ne remet pas en cause l''existence d''une société bien ordonnée. Mais celle-ci doit être conçue comme une société unifiée non par ses convictions morales, mais par sa conception politique de la justice, source d''un consensus qui ne se réduit pas à un simple modus vivendi. La divergence des idéaux moraux et des horizons culturels n''empêche pas la reconnaissance et l''acceptation des mêmes principes de justice et l''exercice d''une raison publique commune. Libéralisme politique s''inscrit dans la tradition de défense du principe de tolérance et des libertés fondamentales.

Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy

Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy
The premier political philosopher of his day, John Rawls, in three decades of teaching at Harvard, has had a profound influence on the way philosophical ethics is approached and understood today. This book brings together the lectures that inspired a generation of students--and a regeneration of moral philosophy. It invites readers to learn from the most noted exemplars of modern moral philosophy with the inspired guidance of one of contemporary philosophy''s most noteworthy practitioners and teachers. Central to Rawls''s approach is the idea that respectful attention to the great texts of our tradition can lead to a fruitful exchange of ideas across the centuries. In this spirit, his book engages thinkers such as Leibniz, Hume, Kant, and Hegel as they struggle in brilliant and instructive ways to define the role of a moral conception in human life. The lectures delineate four basic types of moral reasoning: perfectionism, utilitarianism, intuitionism, and--the ultimate focus of Rawls''s course--Kantian constructivism. Comprising a superb course on the history of moral philosophy, they also afford unique insight into how John Rawls has transformed our view of this history.
