THE MATTER OF JUSTICE, EQUALITY AND FREEDOM IN AMERICAN POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: THE MODEL OF JOHN RAWLS AND RONALD DWORKIN

Summary/Abstract: Because of plenty of social relations, variety and plenty of personal relations, and alteration of personal choices so fast; it becomes problematic to generate a generally accepted justice theory. To generate a universal justice theory in order to prevent inequality in society is an American dream. In order to make this dream real, many justice theories were put forward in American political philosophy. The most important ones among them can be showed as John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin’s justice theories in political and law philosophies. John Rawls’ book named “A Theory of Justice” which was published in 1971, marked a new era and affected many theoreticians with strong reasonings in it. According to Dworkin who assesses justice from the point of view of right, source of justice principles is ‘the right for equal concern and respect’. Dworkin, mostly assesses the theory of justice from an equalitarian perspective. Both theoreticians, try to rationalize justice in social area with hypothetical theories.
