Wide ranging and up to date, this is the single most
comprehensive treatment of the most influential political
philosopher of the 20th century, John Rawls.
* An unprecedented survey that reflects the surge of Rawls
scholarship since his death, and the lively debates that have
emerged from his work
* Features an outstanding list of contributors, including senior
as well as ‘next generation’ Rawls scholars
* Provides careful, textually informed exegesis and
well-developed critical commentary across all areas of his work,
including non-Rawlsian perspectives
* Includes discussion of new material, covering Rawls’s
work from the newly published undergraduate thesis to the final
writings on public reason and the law of peoples
* Covers Rawls’s moral and political philosophy, his
distinctive methodological commitments, and his relationships to
the history of moral and political philosophy and to jurisprudence
and the social sciences
* Includes discussion of his monumental 1971 book, A Theory of
Justice, which is often credited as having revitalized
political philosophy
