Rawls's Epistemological Tension: The Original Position, Reflective Equilibrium, and Objectivity -- Chapter 6. Dewey and Rawls on Education. 330 $aIn Rawls, Dewey, and Constructivism, Eric Weber examines and critiques John Rawls' epistemology and the unresolved tension - inherited from Kant - between Representationalism and Constructivism in Rawls' work. Weber argues that, despite Rawls' claims to be a constructivist, his unexplored Kantian influences cause several problems. In particular, Weber criticises Rawls' failure to explain the origins of conceptions of justice, his understanding of "persons" and his revival of Social Contract Theory. Drawing on the work of John Dewey to resolve these problems, the book argues for a rigorously constructivist approach to the concept of justice and explores the practical implications of such an approach for Education. 410 0$aContinuum studies in political philosophy. 606 $aJustice 606 $aConstructivism (Philosophy) 606 $aSocial contract 615 0$aJustice. 615 0$aConstructivism (Philosophy) 615 0$aSocial contract. 676 $a149 700 $aWeber$b Eric Thomas$01619989 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824854003321 996 $aRawls, Dewey, and constructivism$94020689 997 $aUNINA
