John Rawls
John Rawls was an influential American political philosopher, best known for his work 'A Theory of Justice', which introduced the concept of 'justice as fairness' and reshaped modern political thought.

Though he passed away in 2002, Rawls' theories continue to resonate in contemporary debates about social justice and the role of government in addressing inequalities, making him a relevant figure in discussions surrounding progressive ideologies.
