John Rawls on Values - Dictionary of Arguments
I 329 Values/Equalities/intrinsic/Rawls: that people have the same value is not a necessary condition for them to enjoy equal freedoms. But it is also not a sufficient condition: it is sometimes said that equal fundamental rights are derived from the same opportunities for individuals to develop themselves further. RawlsVs: it is not clear why this should be so. Here the concepts of right and value are mixed up. I 435 Value/Moral value/Rawls: To make the Thin Theory (See Good/The Good/Rawls) a full-fledged one that is about the value of a person, we ask how citizens judge fellow citizens who are in the same position. This involves average skills in an average position and in different roles, especially those that are considered more important. In addition, we assume broad qualities that are normally sought by rational persons. (The indication of broad qualities comes from T. M. Scanlon). >T. M. Scanlon. I 437 Def good person/Def moral value/Rawls: a person of moral value is then an individual with an above-average degree of broad moral qualities, so that it is rational for individuals in the initial situation of a society to be established to strive for this for themselves and for each other. N.B.: no additional ethical concepts are introduced._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
