This book is of interest to all those concerned with moral and political philosophy in general and in the works of John Rawls in particular. The book comprises an introduction by the editor and 14 articles by a group of distinguished philosophers who deal with various aspects of Rawls' work. Thomas Nagel deals with the "special status" of Rawls in the liberal tradition. Burton Dreben deals with Rawls' Political Liberalism. Joshua Cohen, Amy Gutmann, and Norman Daniels discuss Rawls' contribution to democracy theory and its relationship with liberalism, a topic that is supplemented by the contribution of Frank Michelman in "Rawls on Constitutionalism and Constitutional Law" and the role of the judicial authority in liberal democracies. Philippe Van Parijs clarifies the meaning of social and economic justice for Rawls in his completion of Daniels' explanation of Rawls's thought on "Democratic Equality."
