| description | It can be claimed that the subject of justice is the basis and the source of different theories as well as affairs management in the arena of human social life. Social science theorists cannot escape from resorting to a concept and theory of justice in order to prove or justify their theory in any of these sciences. In the analysis of each theory of justice, three factors are considered: • First, the basis of justice: what does the theory think about the basis of justice? The answer to this question also identifies the methodology of the theorist of justice in explaining his or her conception of justice.• Second, the scope of justice: What is the scope and area in which the theory of justice is offered?• Third, the definition of justice: What does the concept of justice represent?Rawls, in the Theory of Justice, has tried to answer all three questions, and the same integrity makes Rawls' theory of justice, among remarkable ideas of justice in recent decades. In this paper, while introducing the general structure of the book and a brief reconstruction of his theory, criticisms of the book, with emphasis on two factors - the scope and the definition of justice - in Rawls theory, are discussed. |
