A equidade como fundamento da justiça em John Rawls

Abstract

This paper, entitled Equity as the Foundation of Justice in John Rawls, aims to reflect on the centrality of equity in Rawls' thinking in relation to justice. The issue of justice constitutes a significant challenge for contemporary societies, which face complex issues related to equity and human rights. The central question that guides this research is: In what way is equity the foundation of justice in John Rawls? In this research, a bibliographic review was adopted, providing an in-depth reflection on the ideas of Rawls and other thinkers relevant to the theme. In this way, the aim is to reflect on justice as equity in the distribution of resources, opportunities and benefits in an effective manner in the face of socioeconomic, cultural and political complexities. Therefore, in Rawls, justice as fairness stands out as a central virtue of democratic institutions, being achieved when rules and institutions are designed to equally benefit all members of society, especially the most vulnerable(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
