This first edition is available for scholars and serious students of Rawls’s work. The deadline for abstract submissions has been extended to 5 September. Though the revised edition of A Theory of Justice, published in 1999, is the definitive statement of Rawls’s view, much of the extensive literature on his theory refers to the original. We welcome submissions of abstracts of at most 500 words. ![]() The aim of this workshop is to explore the complex relationship Rawls develops between the right and the good in his theory of justice and the various implications of this relation for Rawlsian scholarship in particular, and liberal theory in general.
