Customer Reviews

PJ Kuhn ,

Short and adequate.

This is adequate for a very general understanding of Rawl's theory, however, it seems rather surface level. Furthermore, the counterpoints articled at the end of the book are just as superficial, and do not seem to appropriately capture the critics viewpoints.
