The aim of this workshop is to explore the complex relationship Rawls develops between the right and the good in his theory of justice and the various implications of this relation for Rawlsian scholarship in particular, and liberal theory in general. In Political Liberalism Rawls in response to critics, unpacks this priority relation, and places emphasis on the complementary nature of the right and the good. The priority of the right is a position that Rawls defended throughout his work. The structure of an ethical theory is, then, largely determined by how it defines and connects these two basic notions”. Rawls in A Theory of Justice (1999, 21) states: “The two main concepts of ethics are those of the right and the good the concept of a morally worthy person is, I believe, derived from them. According to Rawls, working out what justice requires demands that we think as if we are building society from the ground up, in a way that everyone who is.
