Rawls with Hegel: The concept of 'Liberalism of freedom'

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2008, vol. 15, issue 1, 25-47

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to stress the common characteristics of Hegelian and Rawlsian thoughts. It is shown that Hegel and Rawls have similar objectives, since they both attempt to determine the possibility condition of the reconciliation of the reasonable and the rational, of the universal and the particular. They share a similar concern, which integrates but tries to overcome the Kantian one: their works examine how political freedom can be achieved and how an empirical and implementable theory can be built.
