So you when you are in the original position proposed by Rawls, — Jasmine
You have to come up with a principle of distributive justice that your client will be able to satisfactorily live under. — Jasmine
You will have to think about how you will justify your choice to your client when you find out who he or she is. — Jasmine
which of the principles would you choose for your client, and why would you choose it? — Jasmine
I am drawn to 6 too as I see problems with each of the five other options. — Jasmine
But I have no idea what the ideal just and fair society where everyone had resources distributed evenly would look like! Would love to hear your thoughts! — Jasmine
- I guess what the activity wants is for you to explain why you choose to formulate an entirely different principle, what it would look like (a breif description like options 1-5) and how you would explain this decision to society. Feel free to expand on this! Its super interesting (for me anyway!)Assuming we collectively decide to ignore all that and let bygones be bygones, and everyone (or I suppose a large enough majority of those impacted [who can actually resist- as if that were just]) agree. Where do we go from there? — Outlander
People need regulation, period. — Outlander
everyone will try to join and flatly nod yes to whatever citizenship pledge is required to get the free stuff. — Outlander
1. Laissez Faire: Markets will operate without government intervention, except
to protect private property (including intellectual property through patenting
and copyrighting legislation) and to place modest limits on the emergence of
oligopolistic and monopolistic markets. — Jasmine
One brings an idea of human nature. — unenlightened
you are designing this ideally fair and just country where everyone is equal and has the same resources readily available, knowing you will be living there and whatever you chose will govern the rest of your life. which principle or principles would you choose from the 5 provided? — Jasmine
It brings itself quite well unfortunately. I'm not saying my sentiments are reflective of society as a whole or even the majority of persons, simply that 99.9% of persons in a hypothetical quarantine can be healthy or otherwise non-infectious, but if you don't plan- and carefully- for that single person who may be, you could easily end up with a nationwide outbreak on your hands. — Outlander
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
