Beyond Justice as Fairness

Beyond Justice as Fairness: Rethinking Rawls from a Cross-Cultural Perspective, by Paul Nnodim, explores the three foundational topics in Rawls's theories of justice-social justice, multiculturalism, and global justice-while deconstructing ideas of democratic citizenship, public reason, and liberal individualism latent in Rawls's treatment of these subjects to uncover their cultural and historical underpinnings. Furthermore, it investigates whether these ideas are compatible with the concept of the person in a non-Western context.
