Abstract

John Rawls’s theory of justice is perhaps the contemporary work in political philosophy mostly discussed in current academia. In this article I wish to analyse the challenges that have been put to this Rawls’s theory; namely, that the theory he presents is gendered. I wish to argue that the Theory of Justice has sufficient philosophical resources to respond to the criticisms that Rawls’s theory is gendered.
