Why?
- whimsicalism 4y agoBecause you are saying that Rawls' argument is flawed because the people who believe it tend to support the liberal status quo, supposing apriori that the liberal status quo is bad and then reasoning that therefore Rawls' arguments must be bad if they provide some ethical mooring for that status quo.
- avgcorrection 4y agoNot a priori. A posteori the lottery of life plays a big part in liberal praxis. Dunno why my reasoning is “backwards”. Politics from first principles is fruitless and I don’t intend to play that game. But he can play it if he wishes.
