Philosophy Walk:  Justice as Fairness Description:
Please join us for a philosophy walk on justice, where we'll be exploring the question: What's required of a democratic society that wants to honor its commitment to treating its citizens as free & equal? This walkabout will explore Rawls' theory of justice in an applied fashion. While a summary of his views will be provided at the outset, the bulk of this walk will be spent exploring, working out, expanding upon, and applying Rawls’ views in a “hands-on” way to contemporary issues.

Learn more & RSVP here: https://merlinccc.org/event/philosophy-walk-justice-fairness/

*For those interested, we will also be offering a philosophy workshop in Caretaker’s Lawn at Reeder’s Alley the day prior to this walk with Ed as an in-depth introductory discussion to Rawls’ theory of justice, its principles, and how these were arrived upon. We'll also look at some critiques & some of the ways his theory has been expanded upon, especially as it relates to international justice. Both activities stand on their own.*
