Love Of Wisdom

If we should have government at all, what kind of government should it be?

How do we construct a just society? John Rawls, and The Veil Of Ignorance.

The Big Think - Intro to political philosophy, Tamara Gendler, Yale Univ:


Justice is the first virtue of social institutions as truth is of systems of thought.
A scientific theory, even if it's elegant, is useless if it's false.
A political structure, even if it's efficient, is illegitimate if it's unjust.
--John Rawls

This guy Nozick presents everything that's wrong with the way we've been doing things the last 40 years - all the toxic shit Nancy MacLean is trying to warn us about in Democracy In Chains.
