Document Summary
Nozick vs. rawls clash of modern liberals. Fascist attempt to impose pattern on society, to have society look a certain way sacrificing people"s choices for the pattern. Believer in first generation rights: liberty, healthcare, free education etc. Fan of kant in that any attempt suing people to achieve a pattern is using people as means of an end disrespectful socialists and conservatives use people for their utopia matches with. Must treat everyone as a responsible adult. Don"t subsidize people with bad health choices. Let the pattern be what it may. Conceptions of justice: motivated by envy, jealousy, resentment at people with more money. Distribution of wealth (feels bad for the poor) desire to take that money and give it to ourselves. Deep human impulse to be jealous we want to redistribute out resources but we come up with a way and say oh, we"ll take care of the poor .
