Abstract
This chapter contains sections titled: Notes.
relationship between facts and normative principles affirmations of fact‐insensitive principle ‐ logically prior to affirmations of principle made when factual information was brought to bear distinction between logical and epistemic priority Rawls's thesis ‐ first principles resting on fact sits ill with circumstance that non‐fact‐based principles justify use of original position machine Rawls's endorses neither utilitarianism nor its defenders' factual claim about slavery “at the level of implementation” Rawlsian constructivism as meta‐theory of justice distinction between ultimate fact‐free principles and adopted rules of regulation
