Research Abstract

The aim of this research is to ascertain what changes the Kantian interpretation of justice as fairness, as was expounded in sec.41 of Theory of Justice (1971), underwent during the course of his rethinking justice as fairness, up to the publication of Political Liberalism (1993).
The conclusions obtained and the problems to be considered in the fufure are as follows.
1) The equivalent in Rawls of the Kantian 'kingdom of ends' was originally the original position in Theory, but now it is the real democratic societies with the tradition of tolerance.
2) The reason for the change may be the communitarian criticism of the deontological theory of justice, such as Sandel's, despite Rawls's remark to the contrary.
3) The intuitions inherent in the democratic culture, which are the materials for the construction of the principles of justice, may be shared by the majority, but not by everyone in such a society. Is it fair to dismiss the dissenter's claim simply as 'unreasonable'?
4) Rawls's Kantian interpretation of justice as fairness, which is the starting point for the investigator's reading of Rawls, is challenged by Barry. Barry contends that the Kantian element works not in the construction of the original position, but only in the stability argument.
