D'après Rawls

Abstract: How can healthcare reforms in different countries be compared from the point of view of fairness? Is economic growth an obligation to future generations? Is criticism of Islam in the name of secularism compatible with political liberalism? Rawls's political philosophy has inspired genuine fields of research on themes as varied as the foundations of equality of opportunity, the evaluation of public policy and deliberative democracy. The contributors to this volume - most of whom were close collaborators with Rawls - examine the legacy Rawls left us, as well as the one he himself received. The recent publication of A Brief Inquiry into the Meaning of Sin and Faith, the undergraduate dissertation Rawls wrote at Princeton in 1942, provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between religion and ethics and, above all, their reciprocal influences.
