Answer the question based on the passage given below.
The
subject matter of Rawls’s theory of justice is societal practices and
institutions. Some social institutions can provoke envy and resentment.
Others can foster alienation and exploitation. Rawls’s original thought
is that equality, or a fair distribution of advantages, is to be
addressed as a background matter by constitutional and legal provisions
that structure social institutions. While fair institutions will
influence the life chances of everyone in society, they will
leave individuals free to exercise their basic liberties as they see fit
within this fair set of rules. To carry out this central idea, Rawls
takes as the subject matter of A Theory of Justice “the basic structure
of society,” defined as “the way in which the major social institutions
fit together into one system, and how they assign fundamental rights and
duties and shape the division of advantages that arises through social
cooperation.” Rawls’s suggestion is, in effect, that we should put all
our effort into seeing to it that “the rules of the game” are fair. Once
society has been organized around a set of fair rules, people can set
about freely “playing” the game, without interference.
Rawls’s A Theory of Justice, according to the writer, answers which of the following questions?
OPTIONS |
|
| 1) | Is there a way of organizing society that can keep problems of alienation and exploitation? |
| 2) | Can society be organized around fair principles of cooperation in a way the people would stably accept? |
| 3) | What sort of social structure can help us resolve envy, resentment, alienation and exploitation? |
| 4) | On what basis can the parties choose the rules of the game that are fair? |
