A history of how political philosophy was recast by the rise of postwar liberalism and irrevocably changed by John Rawls (TM)s A Theory of Justice In the Shadow of Justice tells the story of how liberal political philosophy was transformed in the second half of the twentieth century under the influence of John Rawls. In this first-ever history of contemporary liberal theory, Katrina Forrester shows how liberal egalitarianism "a set of ideas about justice, equality, obligation, and the state "became dominant, and traces its emergence from the political and ideological context of the postwar United States and Britain. In the aftermath of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, Rawls (TM)s A Theory of Justice made a particular kind of liberalism essential to liberal philosophy. Using archival sources, Forrester explores this liberalism (TM)s ascent and legacy by examining its origins in midcentury debates among American antistatists and British egalitarians. She traces the roots of contemporary theories of justice and inequality, civil disobedience, just war, global and intergenerational justice, and population ethics in the 1960s and (TM)70s and beyond. In these years, political philosophers extended, developed, and reshaped this liberalism as they responded to challenges and alternatives on the left and right "from the New International Economic Order to the rise of the New Right. These thinkers remade political philosophy, in ways that influenced not only their own trajectory, but also that of their critics. Recasting the history of late twentieth-century political thought and providing novel interpretations and fresh perspectives on major political philosophers, In the Shadow of Justice offers a rigorous look at liberalism (TM)s ambitions and limits.

选题很精彩。每个章节都有一种浅尝辄止的感觉……

I did NOT enjoy it as a Rawlsian. 浮光掠影，勉强读完前三章。

This seriously brilliant revisionist history of poli. phil. historicizes Rawlsianism (a postwar theory, not a Great society one), evaluates its reception (reference point for everyone, even critics), and critically appraises its program (with both radical potential & deradicalizing effects).The capaciousness of liberal egalitarianism has its price.

I enjoyed it as a Rawlsian.
