Minimizing maximin
Philosophical Studies 37 (4):363 - 372 (1980)
Abstract
In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls provides several arguments contractors in the original position using maximin reasoning, which leads directly to the difference principle. These arguments are inadequate to support the claim that maximin reasoning is the uniquely rational approach to choice in the original position.
