The fundamental idea of Rawls' philosophy is that society should be fair, and he developed a famous thought experiment called the 'original position' for thinking about what that might actually mean.
Chandler emphasizes that we must envision a society organized under a 'veil of ignorance,' which encourages us to structure justice without bias toward our own circumstances.
It's a very intuitive way to think about fairness, similar to the idea that someone might cut a cake more fairly if they didn't know which piece they were going to end up getting.
Through Rawls' principles, Chandler argues for an equitable society, focusing on ensuring freedom and equality as core values that should guide democratic reforms.
