John Rawls, famously, thinks that social and economic inequalities ought to be to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged members of society. His ‘difference principle’ has often been criticized for the infringements on personal liberty that it (apparently) justifies. When Rawls says that persons behind the ‘veil of ignorance’ would privilege the least advantaged because they would not know what their own social status would be is he ‘stacking the deck’ toward his own progressive social views, over and against more conservative thinkers who would privilege values like free enterprise, personal choice, and self-reliance? If you were located behind Rawls’s ‘veil of ignorance,’ would you choose equality over liberty, or vice-versa? Write a paper supporting or opposing Rawls’s views here.
