== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Rawlsian Justice''' β The "Political Philosophy" of John Rawls, centered on the idea of "Justice as Fairness." * '''The Original Position''' β A "Thought Experiment" where "Rational People" meet to "Choose the Rules" for their society. * '''The Veil of Ignorance''' β The "Condition" of the original position: you "Don't Know" your **Gender**, **Race**, **Wealth**, **Intelligence**, or **Health**. * '''Justice as Fairness''' β The "Name" for Rawls's system: "Rules" are only "Just" if they are "Fair" to "Everyone," regardless of their "Social Luck." * '''The Two Principles of Justice''': # '''Liberty Principle''': "Each person has an equal right to the most extensive basic liberties compatible with similar liberties for others." # '''Difference Principle''': "Social and economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they are to the **Greatest Benefit of the Least Advantaged** members of society." * '''Maximin Rule''' β The "Strategy" of "Maximizing the Minimum": choosing the "Best Worst-Case Scenario." * '''Fair Equality of Opportunity''' β The rule that "Jobs and Positions" must be "Open to All" under conditions where "Natural Talent" is the only difference. * '''Primary Goods''' β The "Things that Every Rational Person Wants" (e.g., 'Rights,' 'Liberty,' 'Income,' 'Self-Respect'). * '''Reflective Equilibrium''' β The "Process" of "Adjusting" our "Rules" and our "Intuitions" until they "Match." * '''Overlapping Consensus''' β How people with "Different Religions/Views" can "Agree" on a "Single Set of Political Rules." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
