Beyond Justice as Fairness

Beyond Justice as Fairness: Rethinking Rawls from a Cross-Cultural Perspective by Paul Nnodim explores the three foundational topics in Rawlss theories of justice (social justice, multiculturalism, and global justice) while deconstructing ideas of democratic citizenship, public reason, and liberal individualism latent in his treatment of these subjects in order to uncover their cultural and historical underpinnings. Nnodim takes up the question of how well these ideas fit with the concept of the person in a non-Western context.
