VILLAVICENCIO MIRANDA, LUIS. Is Politics Justice as Fairness?. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.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.

Keywords : J. Rawls; fairness; justice; liberalism.
