Description
Desde la Antigüedad, han existido filósofos cuyo pensamiento ha causado hondas repercusiones en la mentalidad colectiva o en las instituciones de su época e incluso en las posteriores. Éste es el caso de John Rawls: sus conceptos sobre la libertad, la justicia y la igualdad han influido tanto en círculos académicos como políticos y han instigado numerosos debates en las sociedades con democracias liberales, por ejemplo los Estados Unidos y otros países del ámbito anglosajón. Samuel Freeman emprende aquí un amplio paseo por la vida y el pensamiento de Rawls, y recapitula a la vez que pondera los temas cardinales de sus teorías jurídicas. El propósito de la obra es dual: por un lado, haciendo uso de una narrativa elocuente pero templada, narra la trayectoria del filósofo desde sus años de formación y de consolidación intelectual; por otro lado, examina con lucidez y entereza las aportaciones teóricas del biografiado en el ámbito de la justicia, así como sus aplicaciones prácticas en las sociedades democráticas.
