PP110 Lecture 23: Pp110 lesson 23
Document Summary
Key difference: the way each understands the notion of equality. Each person possesses an inviolability found on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others. It does not allow that the sacrifices imposed on a few are outweighed by the larger sum of advantages enjoyed by the many. Each of us articulates the good for him/herself. Government therefore must remain neutral on the question of what constitutes a good life (the fact of reasonable pluralism- the different conceptions of good as moral beings) (equal in the ability to determine own good) There is a single correct theory of the good.
