Abstract
Rawls suggests that the preservation of self-respect is at the core of any theory of justice. It is precisely his conception of self-respect, however, that creates serious problems in his theory as a whole. It not only opens him up to charges of inconsistency, but it underscores his failure to deliver on the promise of equality. Rawls's problematic conception of self-respect forces him to advocate a morally repugnant invisibility argument, proving that he is not the egalitarian he is usually taken to be, and suggesting instead that he is merely a defender of a bourgeois, inegalitarian class order.
