Abstract

This paper reviews John Rawls’ political theory through its insufficiencies, as it is revealed by Sen and Daniels’ works, so that justice’s principles, liberty and equality may be concealed. Finally, the critique made to Rawls’ political theory by these authors shall be reviewed too, in the behalf of a more equal social theory.
