Liberalism Thus John Rawls's first principle of justice: ‘Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive total system of equal basic liberties compatible with a similar system for all’ (Rawls, 1971: 302). Stanley Benn is among those who insist that the liberal commitment to persons as choosers is in no way inconsistent with appreciating the importance of our social inheritance. To John Rawls (1993: 5ff), the preeminent proponent of this view, such a ‘sectarian liberalism’ is open to rational dispute, and thus is not in the requisite sense publicly justified. plato.stanford.edu /entries/liberalism   (4702 words)
