In this book Mr. Rawls attempts to account for those propositions, which he believes express our intuitive convictions of the primacy of justice. To this end he presents his theory of justice. The principles of justice he sets forth are those that free and rational persons would accept in an initial position of equality. In this hypothetical situation, which corresponds to the state of nature in social contract theory, no one knows his place in society; his class position or social status; his fortune in the distribution of natural assets and abilities; his intelligence, strength, and the like; or even his conception of the good, Thus, deliberating behind a veil of ignorance, men determine their rights and duties.
