John Bordley Rawls
John Bordley Rawls (1921-2002) was an influential American philosopher known for his work in political philosophy and ethics. His seminal work, 'A Theory of Justice,' introduced the idea of justice as fairness and proposed the original position and veil of ignorance as a method for determining the principles of justice. Rawls argued that a just society is one that ensures equal basic rights, equal opportunities, and promotes the welfare of its least advantaged members. His ideas have significantly shaped contemporary discussions on social justice, liberalism, and democratic theory.
