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.
