Rawls, J. Newen Vs Rawls, J. New I 157
Def Just/Basic Order/Rawls/Newen: just is a basic order if the participants themselves have agreed on it under fair conditions. Original State/Society/Rawls/Newen. Precursor: Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau.
Rawls:
1) The contract parties make a final choice of a basic order
2) They choose the order from a list of historical influential candidates that they can modify
3) the contract parties think rationally
4) they have the three higher-ranking regulatory interests.
5) they have general economic and psychological knowledge
6) they make their choice behind the veil of ignorance: they do not know their place in society.
I 158
Veil of Ignorance/Rawls/Newen: Point: leads to an endorsement of the Maximin principle. Principles/Rawls/Newen: the two principles would be supported by someone if their enemy can assign them a place. (Rawls ThdG 233).
Newen: with that, Rawls builds on Kant.
I 159
Veil of Ignorance/Rawls/Newen: is released gradually, each with reference to decisions already taken on a level. Justice/Justice Theory/Rawls/Pogge/Newen: a conception of justice that people with different worldviews obey together neither needs to affirm nor deny its own capacity for truth.
Justification/Pogge: it is enough for it to distinguish it as the most sensible or appropriate for our political culture. (Pogge, John Rawls, p 173).
I 160
VsRawls/Newen: people are more influenced by emotion than Rawls believes. Should people heavily influenced by emotion be excluded from the order?
I 161
VsRawls: he is at risk of falling behind the procedural fairness of the Enlightenment which ensures that all people can participate in the constitution-making process on an equal footing, regardless of race, opinion, and education. VsRawls: this leaves open the possibility of a "justice expertocracy".
UntilitarianismVsRawls/EnlightenmentVsRawls: they consider the political autonomy also of non-experts a priority.
VsRawls: cannot submit a concept for the (inhomogeneous) world population.
