Synopsis "Law of Peoples"

Consisting of two essays, this work by a Harvard professor offers his thoughts on the idea of a social contract regulating people's behavior toward one another. "The Law of Peoples" is the culmination of more than 50 years of Rawls's reflection on liberalism and on some of the most pressing problems of our times.

John Rawls, American philosopher and professor of political philosophy at Harvard University and author of A Theory of Justice (1971), Political Liberalism (1993), The Law of Peoples (1999), and Justice as Fairness: A Restatement (2001). He is widely regarded as one of the most important political philosophers of the 20th century. His political theory proposes two principles on which to base the notion of justice from an original position in the contractarian spirit of classical political philosophers.

Rawls was awarded the Schock Prize for Logic and Philosophy and the National Humanities Medal by President Bill Clinton.
