An Introduction to John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice

Justitia, the Roman symbol of justice, is traditionally pictured as blindfolded, holding a sword in one hand and a balance scale in the other to represent that idea that justice should be independent of wealth, power, or status. But how can we make sure that justice is just? John Rawls's book, A Theory of Justice, presents two basic principles that he feels would create such a system. Introduce Rawls' theory with a short film that uses an animated tale to explain these principles.
