VILLAVICENCIO MIRANDA, LUIS. Is Politics Justice as Fairness?. []. , 62, 152, pp.225-247. ISSN 0120-0062.

ABSTRACT The article analyzes whether the conception of justice as fairness, set forth by Rawls in Political Liberalism, is a genuine political conception. It first examines the issue of reasonableness of comprehensive doctrines and then goes on to inquire whether the two-step argument affects the structural integrity of political liberalism. The paper concludes that J. Rawls fails in his attempt to justify liberalism independently of a comprehensive liberal doctrine.
