Flow snapshot — how the answer moves
Intro routes
Rr! Rawls = most systematic liberal bid to join liberty + equality → democratic equality its core form R2 justice as fairness via original position / veil of ignorance → contingencies neutralised → persons as ends
Body flow
original position + veil → anti-utilitarian (person as end, no sacrifice for aggregate) → first principle: equal basic liberties + lexical priority → second principle: fair equality of opportunity prior to difference principle → difference principle benefits least advantaged → three combine: freedom + equality, inequality constrained, weakest protected
Counter-view
Arneson: only mitigates contingencies, not truly egalitarian → Sen: resources not capabilities, equal resources # equal real freedom
Conclusion routes
R1 strength = least advantaged shielded from utilitarian trade-offs routes R2 limit = weighs means, not the real freedom to live a valued life
