| Abstract [eng] |
According to Rawls, basic rights and liberties and their priority – the first and main principle of justice – are a guarantee of equal social conditions which are essential to all citizens for their adequate development and for the formation of their two moral powers. This requirement is not new. More than a hundred years ago John Stuart Mill proposed the definition of civil or social liberty as the possibility of pursuing our own good in our own way, as long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. According to him, social liberty is a basic condition of progress and health of an individual and society. Rawls accepted this principle and trusted it. However, Mill’s idea is obviously incorrect. Consequently, all explanations of procedural justice of Rawls are incorrect either. |
