John Rawls associates the diference principle he coined in his A Theory of Justice with the concept of fraternity, recalling the revolutionary tripartite motto of 1789: “liberty, equality, and fraternity.” Defning fraternity in a more rational light, and thus evaluating its capacity for true practicality – without relegating it to an exclusively family-based (as important as this may be) or sectarian sentiment – seems to be a feasible or, at the very least, perceptible path to uncovering new questions and a deeper exploration of the theme, in the work of Rawls.

Abstract

John Rawls associates the diference principle he coined in his A Theory of Justice with the concept of fraternity, recalling the revolutionary tripartite motto of 1789: “liberty, equality, and fraternity.” Defning fraternity in a more rational light, and thus evaluating its capacity for true practicality – without relegating it to an exclusively family-based (as important as this may be) or sectarian sentiment – seems to be a feasible or, at the very least, perceptible path to uncovering new questions and a deeper exploration of the theme, in the work of Rawls.
