What is John Rawls' Difference Principal?
John Rawls is a Kantian Philosopher who has had a large influence in the realm of political philosophy and ethical philosophy.
His difference principal involves us imagining a scenario without race, class, work experience and age. He reasons that we can determine a principal of economic distribution that is fair and applicable for all people in a society.
I will explain how this principle works in the upcoming interview.
