Abstract
Description
The objective was established the first concepts or the first forms before they were located substantially in John Rawls’s masterpiece: A Theory of Justice. It was the central idea in this dossier. The contractual rawlsians documents were reviewed critically and were found such concepts: “Justice as Fairness” (1958), “The Sense of Justice” (1963) y “Distributive Justice” (1973). These germinal ideas were found such as the rejection of the criterion of utility, the fist formulation of the principles of justice, the problematic of moral subject and its obligation with compliance with regulations given by the principles of justice, and finally the veil of ignorance. Perhaps themselves have rejected some criticisms of Rawls.
El objetivo de establecer los conceptos iniciales o las primeras formas antes que fueran situados sustantivamente en la obra cumbre de John Rawls, Una teoría de justicia, fue la idea central de este informe. Se revisaron críticamente los documentos contractuales rawlsianos en los que se establecieron tales conceptos; estos son “Justice as Fairness” (1958), “The Sense of Justice” (1963) y “Distributive Justice” (1973). En ellos se encontraron las ideas germinales tales como la desestimación del criterio de utilidad, la primera formulación de los principios de justicia, la problemática del sujeto moral y su obligación con el cumplimiento con la normativa dada por los principios de justicia y, finalmente, el velo de ignorancia. Mismos que quizá hubieran desestimado algunas críticas hechas a Rawls.
