Philip Pettit on Justice - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 858 Justice/PettitVsRawls/Pettit: Pettit has stylized himself as a republican opponent of Rawl's theory of justice. He wants to oppose Rawl's model (see Justice/Rawls) with its own model, which "in a more substantial way" elaborates the ideas of freedom and social justice.(1)(2) Rawls/(s): is based on principles instead of "contents". >Principles, >J. Rawls. Brocker I 859 RichterVsRawls: Pettit's model appears weak precisely where the concrete allocation of functions to public participation for the purpose of defining and controlling options for action by the state is concerned. Moreover, ironically, Rawls and Pettit's models resemble each other at precisely those points where Pettit claims to present the alternative to liberal political theory. Cf. >Liberalism. It is Rawl's principle of difference that makes it possible to solve the problems raised by Pettit. (3) >Difference Principle/Rawls. 1.
