World famous Harvard professor John Rawls seminal work Theory Of Justice is the blue print for contemporary liberal theory. Rawls builds upon the concept that social justice is the intrinsic goal of any moral society yet that a society to be morally just cannot make moral judgements predicated upon any presupposed moral norms. (think: the who are you to judge me(?) society) Rawls instead builds upon the long tradition of liberal social contract theory and premises his philosophy upon the concept of natural rights priory to the creation of society. He envisions creating a system of rights- basic rights- behind a veil of ignorance. These right are predicated fully on satisfying the desires of man absent the action of man himself. To determine a judgement upon the actions would be placing a value on that action and the goal of the system is to be value neutral. He theoretically organizes these rights as first priority and second priority rights. First obviously would consist most importantly the right to choose and subsequently vote. He then eloquently builds upon the natural right to choose and augments his assertions with the determination that all individuals are not equally gifted with natural talent nor were all indivduals of equal social stature- this hindering the possibility for these individuals to truly choose equally. To remedy such natural inequities the goal of a just society would be for it through government functions redistribute wealth and allocate it to groups who were naturally oppressed or less gifted in order for those individuals to properly seek social justice. This theory is obviously riddled with contradictions. Beyond the fact that the substance of a belief is a value set in and of itself he undercuts his first priority rights by advancing the second first. He then groups individuals together to alleviate natural inequities based on group participation for the sake of the individual's ability to justly choose which is hopeless folly. (think Michael Jordans kid gaining acceptance into a college because of his skin color that theoretically makes him naturally disadvantaged). Essentially in the end this theory deteriorates upon the principle of power as even a majority of those who might vote contrary to the structured order would have their right to vote negated by the power of the controlling elite. This system also eschews and concept of natural law and obligation that through our tradions allow societies to naturally order themselves. The right to individual license would simply break down any substance of trust upon which our systems are created.
