Why Political Liberalism? by Paul Weithman
Paul Weithman offers a fresh, rigorous, and compelling interpretation of John Rawls's reasons for taking his so-called political turn.
not only a convincing rebuttal of the standard story.. but more importantly, a detailed reconstruction of the parts of the argument Rawls ultimately found to be wanting, the flaws Rawls discovered there, and the ways that the pieces of the later work serve to fix those problems. ... Weithman's reconstruction of both the original argument in A Theory of Justice and the later, political, replacement, are masterpieces of close, almost scholastic, exegesis. * Anthony Simon Laden, Mind *
Paul Weithman is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame.
