Subject. Self. Just as Fairness. Morals.Abstract
The present exposition has the following structure. In the first part, (I), I will synthetize some of the criticisms of Rawl’s conception of subject, or self; in the second part (II), I will scrutinize a 1963 paper by Rawls entitled “The sense of justice”, and hope to show, on the basis of this text, that one cannot say that the Rawlsian moral being is a being without flesh, blood or life, as critics have suggested, following in the footsteps of criticism from Hegel to Kant; third (III), I will examine excerpts of TJ (A Theory of Justice) that deal, directly or indirectly, with the concept of subject; finally (IV), I will look at papers published after TJ that may be relevant to the present topic.
