Team Social Contract

First, you should read the section on Economic and Social Justice that starts on page 461 in our "Do the Right Thing" textbook. I recommend specifically the article by John Rawls that begins on page 464. Also, here are some links.

• Two Detailed Overviews (one and two) of Social Contract Theory (SEP, IEP)
• An Advanced Overview of John Rawls's Version (SEP)
• Simpler Intro to Rawls's Theory of Justice (Jan Garrett)
• Radio Show on John Rawls (Philosophy Talk)
• Rawls's "Original Position" (SEP)
• Behind Rawls's Veil of Ignorance (Lingua Franca)
