Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory The concept of justice

I wish to add to this discussion on justice the ideas presented by John Rawls, his work does not only present us with his ideas about justice but also with an apparatus which we can each use to clarify, test and improve our own theories of justice. Rawls argues that to decide what is just we must imagine what rules people de... More..

There are countless examples of this, lennon and mccartney, strummer and jones, albarn and coxon and joey and johnny to name but a few.
