A justiça como equidade em John Rawls

Abstract

Justice as equity is analyzed here as a prerequisite for a just society in John Rawls and in its previous conceptualization, justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. Therefore, justice prevails over ‘good’ in Rawls, with justice being the mechanism for the exaltation of abstract morality, and ‘good’ an idea of ​​law construction, thus not caring about the ends, but rather the means, that is, the process of its creation. Therefore, it is urgent for the work to answer the following question: To what extent does justice as equity in John Rawls presuppose a just society? In this line, the work outlined three particular purposes, which are intertwined in chapters, in which the first contextualizes the construction of the substrates of equitable justice as a political conception of justice in Rawls, focusing on the doctrines of moral philosophy on which it was developed; The following sets out the principles of equitable justice as a political conception of cooperation between individuals, and broadens the discussion in order to reflect on the implicit relations of social inequality between individuals, in order to open space for the realization of a new social contract; and finally, it proposes a model of distribution of primary social goods by the democratic State. Furthermore, justice as equity in Rawls' moderate liberalism is a constitution that proposes equality between individuals, making them participate in the construction of the State, regardless of the degree of their participation(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
