KEY TENET
Conservative view of human nature?
• Human nature is flawed and selfish
• Without a strong government, humans would kill each other
• Humans are less likely to be against slow, gradual change, because it is something they can easily adapt to
• Humans are violent, self-interested
• They compete for resources
KEY THINKER
John Rawls
Context: Witnessed forceful conscription in the Vietnam War. Against this because the rich can dodge service.
• He used the Difference Principle to justify inequality. If the wealthy gaining more wealth benefits the poor (e.g. through unemployment) then it is justified
• Universal basic liberties
• Veil of ignorance => everyone should be treated fairly, independent of position, because if we could restructure society behind a curtain, we would try to decrease inequality as much as we could
• Civil disobedience is necessary for the minority to appeal to the majority
