Abstract

Abstract This chapter introduces Rawls's three-tiered approach to justice. How Rawls comes to adopt a purely recipient-oriented criterion of justice is discussed. Another important element of a criterion of justice that is discussed is the anonymity condition. Why Rawls chose to focus on fundamental interests rather than, say, happiness as the appropriate metric of well-being, is examined.
