مفهوم مبدأ الفرق في نظرية العدالة لدى جون رولز

الملخص EN

This study seeks to shed light on the second principle of Rawls’ theory of justice which is the principle of difference.

if the principle of equal basic freedoms guarantees complete equality in the human right practice of individual and in political practice within the framework of political and social institutions in the liberal state.

and that freedom is not suppressed except for a greater freedom that it in order to avoid political and economic bargaining for freedom.

the principle of difference represents a rationalization of economic and social disparity by achieving two important conditions: the principle of equal opportunities and taking into account the less advantage category and its priority in obtaining economic and social good in society.

their aim is to inspire citizen’s confidence in the constitutional institutions and to reduce the space for personal interest, selfishness and obsession in society.

the second principle also aims to enhance the actual and political presence of the less advantage category by integrating them into society and reducing feelings of envy, selfishness and hatred which are the result of social and institutional injustice to individual within the political and social entity.

the study reviewed two philosophical approaches to the second principle of justice of John Rawls, the first by the American philosopher Robert Nozick and the second by the Indian economist Amartyen Sen and they are two readings from different perspectives of the difference principle of Rawls.
