A Rawlsian Paradigm Case

Author

Listed:
  • Gardner, Ray

Abstract

This paper considers the problem of applying a theory of justice, especially that of Rawls, to appraise the justice of social institutions. In the first place, one must have a measure of the reasonable expectations of members of society. The measure proposed in this paper is the Shapley value of game theory. One can argue on behalf of this measure that it is consistent both with Rawls' notion of pure procedural justice and with Rawls' conception of the background institutions of justice. In the second place, one must have and defend a rule which judges the basic structures of societies on the basis of the reasonable expectations of their members.
