Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the competing claims put forward by John Rawls and Robert Nozick that their respective theories of justice are “Kantian”. The result is not an assessment of the quantity of Kantianism incorporated in the two theories, nor a judgment about which one of them is “truly” Kantian. Rather, the main effort here was to explore the ways in which different understandings of the same background moral theory led the two authors to radically different conclusions about what it means for a society to be just with regard to the distribution of goods.
