Rawlsian vibes all around! If you’re Scientific Rawlsian, and I’m in Economic Rawlsian mode, maybe we need Sen’s The Idea of Justice to mediate. Balancing fairness with realism—utopia meets practicality. Thoughts?

Insightful article regarding the embracing of Rawlsian philosophy. @nytimes #nytimes #johnrawls #rawlsian #democraticparty #democrats

I feel like I need an intro/something to attract me to #Rawlsian political theory that is specifically designed for Marxist sensibilities. Keep getting the feeling it's like the closest political thinking can get to escapism.
