John Rawls' Ethical Principles of Justice as a Solution to Problems of Social Cooperation and Injustice in Contemporary Democratic Societies
Nwagbara, Rufus Godswill,And Orji, Chidi Paul, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT

One of the most important contemporary political philosophers, Rawls's A Theory of Justice, published in 1971, is considered one of the milestones of political philosophy and brings a new understanding of what and how social organization should be in his work Political Liberalism, published in 1993. Rawls tries to answer the question of how a satisfactory understanding of political justice can be grounded in contemporary democratic societies. According to Rawls, in contemporary democratic societies where people are seen as equal and free, individuals or communities will inevitably adopt different religious, philosophical and moral doctrines. Rawls argues that most of the different moral, philosophical, and religious views are reasonable and therefore reasonable among members of society accepts the fact that conflicts may arise
