| Course description | In this course, we critically examine the main ideas and arguments John Rawls' classic book, *A Theory of Justice* in some depth, and also look at how Rawls' views developed since the writing of that book, culminating in his more recent *Political Liberalism*, which we shall also examine in some depth. In association with each of these texts we will look at a variety of relevant secondary literature. |
