  • The Spiritual Exercises of John Rawls.Alexandre Lefebvre - 2022 - Political Theory 50 (3):405-427.
    In this article I interpret John Rawls’s concept of the original position as a spiritual exercise. In addition to the standard interpretation of the original position as an expository device to select principles of justice for the fundamental institutions of society, I argue that Rawls also envisages it as a “spiritual exercise”: a voluntary personal practice intended to bring about a transformation of the self. To make this argument, I draw on the work of Pierre Hadot, a philosopher and classicist, (...)

  • Stanley Cavell, John Rawls and moral perfectionism in liberal democracy.Alexandre Lefebvre - forthcoming - European Journal of Political Theory.
    John Rawls was what we might call a “frenemy” to Stanley Cavell. Time and again, Cavell states his admiration for Rawls's political philosophy but criticizes it for two reasons. First, he believes that Rawls too hastily dismisses a perfectionist tradition that is essential for a flourishing liberal democracy. Second, he attacks certain aspects of Rawls's theory of justice as moralistic and legalistic. The first half of this article examines Cavell's critique of Rawls and argues that the two authors are more (...)

  • Difficulties in nurturing a sense of justice.Hannes Kuch - 2024 - Journal of Social Philosophy 55 (2):238-256.
    The paper analyzes Rawls's moral psychology and the claim that a just society must foster a sufficiently strong sense of justice. When Rawls investigates the development of the sense of justice under a just basic structure, he tacitly narrows down the focus: he only demonstrates the development of a sense of justice on the premise that all members of society are already in possession of a full-fledged sense of justice, save the one individual under investigation. This begs the question, largely (...)

  • Шлях до «теорії справедливості»: Праці джона ролза 1940-х — початку 1950-х років.Леонід Фінберг - 2022 - Filosofska Dumka 2022 (1):23-35.
    За багато років, що минули з того часу, як Джон Ролз видав свою працю «Теорія справедли- вості», в академічних колах сформувалося і набуло великого поширення ставлення до Ролзової теорії як до нового етапу розвитку локівсько-кантівської ліберальної традиції. Однак після того, як нещодавно було відкрито для дослідників папери Ролза в Архіві Гар вард- ського університету, стало зрозуміло, що усталене уявлення є не зовсім точним. Вивчення ранніх праць Ролза, значна частина яких залишається неопублікованими, дало змогу об’єм- ніше побачити етапи та особливості формування (...)
